[QUOTE="TexasTB, post: 2053994, member: 94575"] 243 is a great round and versatile. Had one for years. Currently, my favorite "go to" is the 7mm-08 which is just a necked down .308. I shoot 162 ELDx at 2640 fps... if you want more speed drop down to 140's or even a Barnes 120g bullet. Other option if you reload is to chamber 7mm08 SAW. it is basically a 7mm08 with a 30 degree shoulder. You can go to West Texas Ordnance website to learn more about that cartridge. It allows me to shoot my 162ELDx at 2800 fps vs. my 7mm-08 which shoots at 2640fps. Have fun picking out your next cartridge. Both are good on game animals (I've shot prairie dogs, coyotes, whitetail deer and Aoudad). [/QUOTE]
