I’m not sure it will add much to the 243. I watched the 243 with a 90gr Scirocco make very short work of a 300lb Mule Deer at just under 400 yds a couple of days ago. Through the on shoulder and out just behind the off one. Hop, hop, and down. I’ve seen similar deer shot in similar fashion at half the distance with 7mm and 300 magnums that went further. A lot further.
There are a bunch of variables when shooting game. The cartridge choice is one of the least of these. I’ve shot my share of game and have done so with an extreme variety of cartridges and that is my observation and opinion.
