The larger calibers have a ballistic advantage at the longer ranges at relatively lower, less throat burning velocities, with lots longer barrel life as a bonus.

If you are not recoil sensitive and don't want to be paying for a new barrel every 1000 to 1200 rounds, then you may want to stick with the bigger bores. If recoil is a problem for you, and-or you have the pocketbook to afford the frequent barrel switches.... then by all means take advantage of the smaller bores.....
Only here have I ever heard of the 243 being a barrel burner. I dont get it. I will refer you to post number 13 of this thread.

Please explain to me the reasoning behind this whole throat burning in a medium caliber burning a relatively small volume of powder compared to bore size.

So does a 308 WIN or 30-06 SPR burn out quicker than a 338 WIN or Lapua?

I would love for someone to explain to me why a 243 is so much of a barrel burner.
