[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 528410, member: 313"] I wouldn't really consider the 20 BR a longrange cartridge. On the other hand, the 22-243 with an 8 twist will easily take you out to 1,000yds. An 80gr .224 bullet will have a much better BC than a .243 80gr bullet of similar design. The 22-243 with a fast twist barrel is no slouch. Barrel life is probably better than most shooters think providing that you don't shoot it hot and keep the bore reasonably clean. I put over 1,000 rounds through my 22-243AI and it still shot tight groups. Eventually I set the barrel back and started all over again. I dropped 5 bullets into about 1.25" @ 300 yds the other day so I think she's got plenty of life yet. [/QUOTE]
