It MAY shoot. It will not shoot well. It may not shoot safely.
The .243 is a necked down .308 cartridge. You are sending a .24 bullet rattling down a .30 barrel. It may or may not trap enough gas to cycle an autoloader. It WILL blow out the case mouth.
most certainly not the m-16 is chambered in 223 or 5.56 NATO a 243 or 6mm is a larger round
Do not attempt to use ammunition in a weapon not chambered for it.
Normally a rifle chambered for .243 Winchester would be built on a short action.
No
Dr. King was shot with a Remington Model 760 pump action rifle chambered in caliber .30-06. Ray originally purchased the same model in .243 winchester, but traded it for the more powerful .30-06, telling the salesman that he needed a "more powerful rifle."
In order to answer your question correctly I would need to know the model of savage rifle that is chambered in .243 Win.and the overall condition of the rifle to give you a half way decent value.
The answer is yes...and no There are several models of Weatherby rifles. Different models are avail. in a plethora of calibers. Here is an example: If you have a Weatherby Mark V chambered for 7mm Weatherby Mag YOU CANNOT shoot 7MM Remington Mag ammo. Dont look at the manufacturer of the ammo, look at the caliber and do not interchange. Weatherby has several "propriatary" calibers, wby 7mm, wby 270, wby 257, wby 460, and others. Look on the barrel for the caliber stamp. If your rifle is chambered in one of these "weatherby" calibers, you must shoot either Wby ammo, or reload. If your rifle is chambered in a standard caliber (270 win, 30.06, 243, 7mm, 257, etc,etc, you can shoot any munufacturers ammo that is in that caliber.

.243 was made in a variety of Browning Rifle models. There are too many to list. Perhaps you could provide a model and we could tell you if it "wasn't" chambered in .243
NO! the 243 wssm cartridge is completely different than the 243 Winchester cartridge.The cartridge case is much wider through the body,and has a lot sharper shoulder angle which sets the headspace on both these cartridge,s.The 243wssm is loaded to a higher pressure also.In effect you would blow the receiver up and yourself if you could get the cartridge to chamber in the breech of your rifle! Do not attempt this in a 243 Winchester chambered rifle.
The model seven is a centerfire bold action sporting rifle with an 18.5" barrel and 4 or 5 shot magazine. Blued with a checkered walnnt stock. Chambered for .223, .243, 7mm-08 Rem, .308 Win, and .260 Rem. Introduced 1982.
Winchester introduced the .243 Winchester cartridge in 1955 for the bolt-action Model 70, and the lever action Model 88. As far as the year of manufacture of a particular rifle, you will need to provide the manufacturer, model number and serial number to trace it, but if chambered for .243, it logically cannot be early than 1955.
