[QUOTE="ryan m, post: 54909, member: 1697"] If you handload, then I would suggest the 6mm remington. I agree it isn't a good idea for LR deer, but has an advantage over the .243, especially to the handloader, is not belted like the .240 weatherby, and is not a wildcat like the 6mm-06 or 6mm-284. Any of the above will make great LR varmint guns, and good close range deer guns with the right bullets. 6mm rem improved is something else to consider if you are having a gun built. There is also the question of rifle availability for a given caliber, but I will leave that to you to figure out. I think the .243 wssm is okay, but ammunition is expensive, and I don't care for the winchesters or brownings personally. Just because it is new doesn't mean it is better, but you have to decide that for yourself.
