Head to Head: .243 Winchester vs. .240 Weatherby Magnum
The .240 Weatherby Magnum is a speed demon, but how does it stack up against the original 6mm of the mid-20th century, the .243 Winchester? We take a closer look at the two to see if the younger offering can better the performance of the older.
Behind the Bullet: .240 Weatherby Magnum
The .240 Weatherby Magnum is the fastest 6mm on the commercial market, exceeding the muzzle velocity of the .243 Win. and 6mm Rem. by 300 fps. If you’re the hunter who likes obscure cartridges, the .240 Wby. Mag. is a great choice for deer, pronghorn and similar-sized game.
