l dont own a 243 but have a couple of 6mm dashers built on old Mauser 98 actions that are basically a more efficient 243, less powder more velocity, very precise ect...
the 6mm fits a need for me in an accurate meat hunter without destroying the meat
l use 100gr sierra pro hunters @ 3020fps
here's one l shot a few days ago with a 6mm dasher after passing up eight better heads because they were too good for just eating and still in velvet would be a crime to not let them breed

l have used bigger cartridges but but stopped because of meat damage
IMHO the 234 cal does have its place
What’s your opinion of the 257 Weatherby?
