Default RE: what do ya'll think about a .243

243 vs 30-30 inersting. i look up a 243 100gr win load and a 170gr win 30-30 load lets see now.
"guns and ammo 2002
243 w 100gr (mv)2743 "v100"-2507 "v200"-2283 "v300"-2070 "v400"-1869 "v500"1680

"me"1670 "e100"1395 "e200"1157 "e300"951 "e400"776 "e500"626
site in and drop for 200yd zero "100"+2 "300"-8.7 "400"-25.5 "500"-52.3

now for the 30-30
"mv"2200 "v100"1895 "v200"1619 "v300"1381 "v400"1191 "v500"1061

'me"1827 "e100"1355 "e200"989 "e300"720 "e400"535 'e500'425
same 200 yd site in "100"+4 "300"-17.5 "400"-53.3 "500"-113.6

now lets see a 170gr vs 100gr "i will take the 170gr"
me 1670 vs 1827-e100 1395 vs1355 e200 989 vs 1157. so from muzzle to 100yd they are very close "i will still take 170gr"
200yd zero +2 vs +4 that ant all that much differance.
i concider both to be 200yd guns at max. i like the 170gr of lead in the air vs 100



? how is the 30-30 a weak case?
