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.
