I have had two 243's. They worked well enough. I always thought I wanted a 6mm.
I used many Speer 85 g hp's on small Critters. I used two Hornady 100RN and one Speer 90g on deer. Liked the RN best.
Switched to the Grendel not so much to replace the 243 as to get my buddy off my back about how great it was.
I gotta say I do really like it. Its shooting way better then it has a right to!! Only taken a few deer and a coyote in the few years I have owned it. But have been impressed.
I have three bullets shooting well UNDER moa with a FEW powders!! RL15, Benchmark and AR Comp with a 120 Pro Hunter, 120 Gold Dot or a 123 SST. Almost boring @ 100 and down right easy out @ 200.
I could really pretty easy forgo many many other calibers. This one is a miser on powder. Easy on the shoulder. Kills quick and efficiently and offers anything I need here well past ranges I shoot. (0-300)
