For a few 100 fps? There is a whole lot of discussion on SH about what twist to use.
The .224, .243 WSSM whups them all.
@Jcann pretty much nailed it. Both cartridges take advantage of modern bullet tech.

Honestly as much as I appreciate the advances that have been made in cartridges, bullets and firearms I’m a dinosaur myself. I’m just not into these newfangled cartridges. I like history and tradition and I gravitate towards cartridges and platforms that either are vintage and old tech or resemble those things.

I love the advantages heavy for caliber cartridges give the shooter. Being able to shoot a 95 grain bullet out of a 22 Creedmoor at 3,200 fps just opens up so many more doors. I assume one could also shoot a 52 grain bullet in a 1:7 barrel at 3700 fps without twisting it apart as it exits the barrel.

@dennishoddy has a very good chambering in his 243 WSSM but Winchester and Browning decided to stop supporting it. As long as there is brass for this round and a properly set up barrel, there’s no reason to move toward the newer chamberings.
