To make a .243 sing like you're describing then you have to rebarrel to a 7 or 8 twist, you have to reload 105-115 gr, maybe have magazine length work done on the rifle to handle the out of spec oal of the new round etc. etc. etc. bla bla bla  Love to see a factory .243 shooting factory ammo even get to 1100 yards supersonic. 
6 creedmoor or 6.5 creedmoor will do that, factory rifles/ammo
the OP didn't specify his level of tech around the .243 question, assumption is he was inquiring about saami spec off the shelf .243...peace bro |
Haha,no offence intended bro,like I said,wasn't trying to be a Rick. ✌️
....jest sayn....people often get too hung up on recommended minimum retained energy etc when as I'm sure you're aware,it's all about bullet placement.
If kinetic energy was the carved in stone/end all to be all determining factor in killing effectively,then none of us would be bowhunting. 😜
