Welcome to the forums! Here's some good info on the .243 cartridge, maybe you've seen it already: http://www.6mmbr.com/243Win.html
Great site with a lot of info...
I don't have experience with the CDL, but I would suspect it would be a very accurate gun... similar to the other Remington 700's. The .243 is an accurate cartridge much like the .308, so I think you would be happy with it and with a working up a load I would think it would shoot very well!
Going with a CDL in .243 will, in a sense, give you a gun with a "heavy" barrel, since it's a smaller caliber than something like a .308. You will have a much stiffer barrel in the .243 since there is less metal cut away when they rifle the barrel.
