[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 721022, member: 22069"] Some time, just for sh!*$ and giggles, check out the ammo shelf at a Cabela's, Bass Pro, or similar store to see the wide array of ammo available for the .243. I personally have factory ammo that runs the gamut from 87g SST's @ 2800 fps to 58g VMAX @ 3900+fps. I don't know of any other cartridge that offers that kind of range in factory ammo. It is interesting that you mention noise as a factor in your choice. Though the .243 may recoil slightly more than a .22 centerfire, I don't think it will be any noisier. The various .22 centerfires from .223 on up, for some reason, have always seemed to me to be much louder than they ought to be. I've never understood why that is. [/QUOTE]
