Re: .243 Striker to 25 WSSM
Why not a 250 Savage or a 250AI? Decent speed, mild recoil, cheap brass (just neck up 22-250 brass), and dies are readily available. All you'd have to do is rebarrel, your mag and bolt face should work fine.
To change your gun to a WSSM you would have to rebarrel (of course) and find a left hand .532" Bolt Head for a Short Action. Don't know how easy or hard that would be, never looked for one.
Just my $0.02 and $0.02 ain't worth much :)
Re: .243 Striker to 25 WSSM
Thanks for the reply. Am I correct in assuming the 250's are close in ballistics to the WSSM?
Re: .243 Striker to 25 WSSM
How about a 25-06AI. Same bolt head as the .243. I bet that would have some stank on it from a pistol.

No not so much, a little lighter duty. Still a nice cofortable 25 cal to shoot and depending on your needs should do very well up through deer sized game. 250AI would be comparable to your 243 give or take.
A 25-06 or 25-06 AI would be a nice little hand cannon round with great performance, but you would definatly have a single shot with that and probably with the 25 WSSM. You may want a brake with this one.
