[QUOTE="britz, post: 288230, member: 7865"] admittedly I've never shot either... Just read lots of great reviews and researched ballistics on the br... so take what I have to say with a grain of salt. from what I know the only thing the 243 wssm and the 6br have in common is the fact they both shoot the 6mm bullet. The wssm is a real race horse but is a terrible barrel burner. The wssm doesn't have good brass available, it is overbore. the br is not overly powered, but it is exceptionally accurate and pretty easy on barrels. I have heard time and time again that the br is an excellent mid range varmint rifle. You burn much more powder w/ the wssm and you will experience greater barrel heat. Basically the BR is a short 308 win necked down to 6mm and the WSSM is a short 300wsm necked down to 6mm. lots of difference. IMHO the wssm would make a somewhat cool long range varmint rifle that you intend to shoot only a few rounds an hour out of and have extra money to spend on barrels. If you want that kind of power go w/ a 6-284 and have great brass available. [/QUOTE]
