Thread: Firearms for women

Got to disagree.
way more 243's in the country than 6.5 cm and way more 243 ammo for sale than 6.5CM
easy way is to look at guncity's range of ammo in each caliber,
243 is number 4 and 6.5 cm is number 11.
308 is number 1 with 39 choices, then 223, then suprise to me 270 then 243 with 15 differance choices, 6.5 cm has 9 flavors of ammo.

and I think we have mosly all agreed 308 is a bit much and 270 would be simalar, 223 nice but some questions, then 243.

yes interesting stats - 270 does not surprise me always has been a damn good caliber -- 243 will be just fine for a lady and no one ?? has said 6.5 x 55 will do the job - nice Tikka LA55 in that caliber nice

It's not just about selection of flavours, it's also about volume of each flavour. Compare selection of .243 vs 6.5CM at ammo direct.

Having said that, I wouldn't walk past a Model Seven just because it was in .243
