alot of can manufactures rate their cans for magnums. no problem forwhat tyou want to do. in some cases it may be quieter with other calibers.

I have a 308 can on the way that I plan to use on both my 260 bolt gun and my 223 AR. From the testing data I have seen the difference in shooting the smaller round through the larger can was so small it didn't warrant the investment in a seperate can.

Unless a 243 has some markedly higher pressures than a 308(sorry don't know enough about the 243), I would think you would be fine.

My 2 cents.

Link below is to a site that has some test results you might be interested in.

This is a link to 223 shot through a 7.62 can.
