RE: 243 vs. 25-06
Either one is a great choice. I love any cartridge based off of their 308 Winchester or 30-06 Springfield parent cases.
100 grain bullets in either 243 Winchester or 25-06 Remington are big (deer) game bullets. I wouldn’t call the Nosler 100 grain .257 caliber partition bullet a varmint bullet.

Who in their right mind would shoot big game with either at 500 yards.Used to use 100gr for deer but found it too destructive and now use 120 Hornady HP for everything................Mute point.................Harold
