I'd also look at a different cartridge. 1st time you head off on a hunt and forget your box of .243wssm ammo at the house you're NOT likely gonna find it at the shops. heck unless there's others with it in your area it's gonna be a rather difficult chambering to find amo for and even then there isn't a lot of choices in it's selection. I guess if you're to be reloading it, maybe but I'd definately still look at a different chambering. On the other hand, if you already have one...commonality can be two-fold. Good in keeping like chamberings but bad for the same reason (mix-ups).
