[QUOTE="357Mag, post: 2348694, member: 106883"] Just - Howdy ! The handwriting is pretty much on the wall, as regards the venerable .243Win. Its case capacity of 54gr H2O was useful, but in actuality proved to be more than what many shooters needed ( in a 6mm cartridge ). But more than that perhaps, was the .243Win's shallow shoulder angle, which placed the powder combustion " turbulence point " outside of the case neck. That did nothing towards helping extend barrel life. The above observations are reinforced by the popularity and successes being sent with the newer 6mm's.... like the 6 X47L, 6XC; and 6 Creed. Useful case capacity, and " turbulence point " held within the neck. If one were to consider which cartridge available now ( factory or wildcat ) that might supplant the .243Win in the years to come, the answer might arguably be the " 6 Creedmoor " ..... FWIW With regards, 357Mag [/QUOTE]
