Why?? Accurate, little recoil, but limited to about 105 grain bullets, lousy B.C.s and eats barrels like no tomorrow. Have had three or 4 and sold them all. To me the 6.5 and .284 options are a far better all round hunting and accuracy round with about the same recoil as the 243. Most of the 6.5s and .284 in non-magnum don't burn up barrels near as fast either.
