I would love to own a 6mm remington, and someday I will when money is not so tight. Is the fastest factory .243 on market the 6mm or is the 243 WSSM faster? Oh I guess the 240 WBY would be up there too, anyone know what the fastest .243 is?
That would be a .243-06 (wildcat).
They are all pretty close. you can get the .243 in hornady light magnum and it performs as good or better than the 6mm. But in reality I doubt you can see a difference in them. they say the .243 wssm has exaggerated balistics. I would stay away from the .240. I hear nothing but bad things about weatherby.
you know winchester loads a 55 gr for the .243 ? shoots almost 4000 fps. Prolly to light for deer though, but for varmints it would be great, man its a flat shooter.
