The .243 Winchester (6×52mm) is a popular sporting rifle cartridge. Developed as a versatile short action cartridge to hunt both medium game and small game alike, it "took whitetail hunting by storm" [2] when introduced in 1955, and remains one of the most popular whitetail deer cartridges.
As Ruger intended the cartridge to be chambered in short bolt-action rifles, [3] they trimmed the .375 Ruger parent case to 2.015 in (51.2 mm) to ensure a comparable cartridge overall length to the .308 Winchester. Unlike the rebated Winchester Short Magnum cartridges, the Ruger Compact Magnums share the same diameter from case head to body.
The .308×1.5" Barnes was intended as a short range deer cartridge that could also be used as a varmint and predator cartridge. Loaded with the 150 gr (9.7 g) cartridge, it is capable of taking deer-sized game out to 150 yd (140 m). For predator and varmint hunting, bullets weighing 90–125 gr (5.8–8.1 g) are commonly used.
As the cartridge follows a modern design, it has little taper which allowed its parent cartridge to feed reliably through auto-loading rifles such as the M14, FN FAL and the H&K G3. The .260 Remington has a case capacity of about 3.47 mL (53.5 gr H 2 O). Both SAAMI and C.I.P. have provided design specifications for the .260 Remington cartridge.
The .243 Winchester Super Short Magnum or .243 WSSM is a rifle cartridge introduced in 2003. It uses a .300 WSM (Winchester Short Magnum) case shortened and necked down to accept a .243in/6mm diameter bullet, and is a high velocity round based on ballistics design philosophies that are intended to produce a high level of efficiency.

He went on to write "With the 90 grain load, the 244 is a good deer cartridge and certainly effective on antelope and any lighter game." [ 9 ] Ultimately 90 grain hunting bullets such as the soft pointed Spitzer used by Remington are known to be well suited to medium-sized big game and the 722 to be an inherently accurate rifle.
