![]() ![]() 243 Winchester evolved, how he pitched it and what Winchester did with it. In it he details with absolute clarity how the. The originator of the cartridge - Warren Page, editor of Field & Stream, champion benchrester and hunter - wrote a book “The Accurate Rifle”. There’s absolutely zero debate, and you have nothing to doubt. And as I have also posted in the past, a whole bunch of the world's supposed authorities writing in magazines haven't got a friggin' clue what they're talking covered all this a while back. How else will we ever learn? This is a major problems with forums. That's not a dig at you, but when guys write long posts with views that are just flat out wrong, those members that know different should speak up to correct them. I thought it was you that was egging me on at the time, but maybe it was Sharps? Do a search on here for "Warren Page" under my name, you will find it all in glorious technicolor.īottom line is that internet forums and a great many magazines are full of misinformation, blatant errors, poor (or no) research and general ignorance. There really is no substitute for research! But critically it also shows clearly how Winchester promoted the cartridge as a deer rifle first (whitetail), a varmint rifle second, which was the other way round to Remington’s 6mm. That too demonstrates how Winchester basically pinched Page’s ideas. There’s another book too from about 1960, the name of which has completely escaped me. (And where Remington went wrong.) I posted photos of the relevant sections, and also found some of the original ammunition made at the time of the rifle's launch, in 100gr and 80gr, complete with and categories of game the ammunition was intended for. ![]() But that's never going to happen any time soon is it ?Ĭlick to covered all this a while back. 243 is the minimum calibre for Roe, could be knocked on the head too. And the nonsense that means that, outwith Scotland, the. Whereas with a small change in the laws, perhaps an alignment of Scottish and the rest of the UK rules, things could be sorted out straightforwardly. As is perfectly acceptable elsewhere in the UK.īut ISTM that there are already better tools for the job, here and now, so unless invested in. Whereas I think it gets a lot easier to do by dropping the bullet weight below 100 grains. 243 with none (less) toxic humane 100 grain bullet combination does not yet exist. My opinion being that, unless Scotland changes its laws, if/when the use of non toxic ammo becomes either mandated, or strongly favoured by those who have studied the pros and cons, or simply required by the landowners or game dealers, then the. To which question, answer there has been none. 243 rifle, that would presumably be required to meet the Scottish regulations for larger deer, and I suppose, if such a thing does exist, the next question would be, how well do they perform ? Bottom line is that the OP was enquiring about whether there was yet a 100 grain non toxic bullet available for a standard. ![]()
