What is the status of this cartridge?  Is it dying or does it have a future?  My brother in law is thinking of buying one, and I always am hesitant to get involved with these cartridges for which ammo might not be widely available if at all.  What says the hive mind?

The cartridge might be around for a little while, but who knows for how long. Looks like the guns are not longer going to be made.

Browning stopped making 223WSSM and 245WSSM and I would also think 25WSSM.

270WSM, 300WSM and 325WSM are still big sellers.

As for the 243WSSM, it is a good round...VERY fast. But if you are a not a reloader the 243WSSM might not be the best choice. A standard 243 might be a better choice.
