Default RE: .243 in mag

ORIGINAL: bowhunt05

are they of mag cal does it have bigger shells, bullets
what i am trying to ask is is it quicker or more powerfull
Win does make a .243 mag, its called a .243 winchester super short mangnum. (.243 WSSM) balistics show it to be a tad better than a regular .243 however their are some saying that they are not getting the ballistics that winchester claims. So it might just be on par with the .243. use a premium bullet in the .243 like the federal 100 gr, sierras and they perform quite well and are very flat shooting.
yep I just looked at some numbers and the WSSM in .55 grains shoots at just over 4000fps!!!WOW!!
Winchester loads a 55 gr. ballistic tip thats shooting 3910 FPS for a regular .243 and is super flat shooting like 27" drop @500yds with it sighted zero @200
