Or you might want to compare apples to apples, like sticking to the 100gr bullet.
Fired out of a 24in barrel, Hornady shows a 300fps advantage to the .25-06 over the .243 Win.
Now, you may not consider a 20% difference in bullet weight to be "significant" (I do), but how can you not consider a 300fps (10%) difference in velocity (same weight bullet) NOT significant?
I have both, and for me, the .25-06 picks up where the .243 leaves off...
Also have a 6mm Remington. Want to get into THAT vs. .243 argument?
