Thread: A few Questions about the 243

I'm toying with the notion of what I will replace my hand in rifles with.

I've decided to research the 243, with an eye to buying one later in the year.

So I'm not in the market for one at the moment.

The questions:

* Given that they're a barrel burner, how many rounds can you shoot in a group before you're risking dumping too much heat into the throat?
I'm asking from the point of view of sighting in/ changing zero, so 's I know how slow to take it.

* As far as reloading for the 243, what's your preferred powder, and do slower powders help with barrel life in your experience?

* Your favourite deer hunting projectile for 243?

* Any other things to know/ watch for?
