Default RE: .243 or 6 mm rem
ORIGINAL: pahntr760

I am looking to get avarmint rifle and was wondering this simple question. Is there any (dis)advantage to either cartridge? I know that the 243 win is a more prevalent and popular round, but the 6mm rem seems to just be an answer and competition in the bore market.

Also, I don’t want a 22 cal because, other then my rim fires, I want to be able to use all my guns for deer. The 22-250'sand 223's don’t appeal to me. Thanks in advance!
Other than the distinct lack of factory offerings for the 6mm rem it does outperform the .243 by a slight margin and shoots flatter than the .243 with an equal weight bullet.

The Hornady Light Magnum load for the 6mm Rem is a real gem as well. It blows the .243 Light Magnum loads out of the water.

I'd defintely go with it.
