I have had a few 243's over the years and taken some deer with them,none of them went over 50 yards and most dropped on the spot.I have gone to the 6.5's(creedmore) now just for better balistics, longer shots and better barrel life,but a 243 used for just for hunting should last a life time.I don't notice any difference in felt recoil between the 2 of them.The 6mm creedmore would be my choice if I was going back to 6mm because most rifles come with a 1-8 twist and should shoot the heavier bullets.I wouldn't hesitate to look at a 7-08 rem either for a hunting round and bullet selection.
