Yep agreed
However he doesn’t have a 243 so that’s not an argument worth making
Definitely if he already had a 243 you would suggest loading it down and saving him $1000 for a new rifle

I would not buy 243 with the intention of loading it down
I would buy something actually suited to the job at hand like 6.5 Grendel or 6mm arc

I certainly think the op is on the right track with his original thoughts with the Grendel “or similar “
