out at a 1000, but again I want something left of them, for making a coat, hats and other things, sell pelts from time to time.What is your maximum range?
Last year I put together a 6 creedmoor just for my coyote gun. It works pretty well.
Not familiar with either of those calibers, will have to research them.I'm gathering parts for a 1-8 twist 20 BR right now. I know it's not as powerful as a 22-250, but trying to save the pelt as much as possible. I'm buying as many Berger 55s as I can right now for it.
Another one I would like yo try is a 22 LRV from West Texas Ordnance.
For that range maybe a 22 Creedmoor, 22-250 AI, 243 WSSM, etc. Saving the pelt is where the 17 and 20 calibers shine. I have a 17/.223 and a 20 Practical AR15. And building a 20 BR in bolt action.out at a 1000, but again I want something left of them, for making a coat, hats and other things, sell pelts from time to time.
Nice, I will look into this a bit more, thanks.I'm shooting the 108 Berger hybrid's at 2975 fps and I didn't see much damage to the hide's unless I hit the spine. First one was 905 yards then 563 yards and 331 yards and you can see no damage to the hide.
Well I'm retired and right now into building what "I" want, then I know that my barrel and actions are to do the job.243 of one of the major factory rifles (Win, Rug, Sav, How, ugh...old Rem not a $2500 talk about it rifle)....simple, basic, a lot available, and will just flat work.
Not sure at this point. I need to learn what will reach out a 100 yards and do the job without blowing it apart.Just to approach your question from a different angle, what bullet and what velocity are wanting? That will help narrow it down to what caliber
