So my moms husband, is convinced that the .243WSSM is the greatest thing since sliced bread. He is convinced because he cousin has one and blah blah blah...
I prefer the good old 243!!!!
Since I am just a "punk kid" (I am 34 years old and have shoot circles around him). He assumes I know nothing or at least refuses to acknowledge I know anything.
So here was my thoughts...
1. The 2 are not much different for the everyday hunter/shooter (I honestly believe the guy has only shot 3 times in teh last 2 years).
2. When it comes to game the deer and possible elk are not going to know a difference at acceptable hunting ranges (under 300 yards).
3. The WSSM ammo is almost nonexistent. When you do find it it is almost 10-15 dollars more a box.
I did state that you should be able to find a cheaper 243 WSSM as most people I know who bought em have sold them used and still have the old 243...
SO what else?
