[QUOTE="blackco, post: 142742, member: 7356"] I grew up on 243's; now I have 2 6mm's (all out of the box factory rifles, sorry). I think they are the "Hammer of Thor" [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] on everything up to mule deer, including coyotes, and mine have made quite a few caribou get all loose inside also. Anyways, if all things such as price/availability/etc. were the same I would definatly take the 6mm for the 100-300fps advantage. But since you are already set up for the 243, if you can get one of them, take it and never look back. After a few long discusions with my gunsmith, I believe both of these rounds really "wake up" when they are AI'd. Both of my 6mm are heading his way as soon as I put enough in the money jar. To make a long story short (too late) I would pick the 6mm for its small advantage but would not feel handicaped at all with the 243; either way I would take it to the gunsmith for a reaming to AI. Good luck, [/QUOTE]
