[QUOTE="PredatorDown, post: 1203806, member: 96222"] Not even finished with my current build and already thinking about my next one... I've already decided to take my old Ruger M77 in 243Win and change it to my lightweight hunting rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor. But after talking to my smith on my current build that is changing my Rem700 into a switch barrel rifle, it got me thinking of doing the same thing with the M77. If I do, it'll be into a super fast lightweight .22cal. So my question is this: anyone have experience with the 22-243Win? Or 22-243 Middlestead? I know it'll burn barrels quick, but I'm really not worried about it for that rifle. After load development, I doubt it would see 100 rounds a year. The 6.5 Creed would primarily be for deer/elk, while the 22-243 would be for a flat shooting coyote cartridge. There's just something about being able to launch a 75gr amax at 3500+fps that gets me all hot and bothered. And I'm not going to lie, part of the reason is just to be different haha [/QUOTE]
