[QUOTE="Austin, post: 30711, member: 1956"] That's not too bad of a setup to start with. You may want to consider rechambering the bbl you have for a .243 AI chamber. I've done that with several of my .243's and had good luck every time. They have all been able to hold their own at 600yds without too much trouble. Another thought would be the 6/284. That would definitely get you out there. If you're shooting varmints, then, depending on your twist rate, you could probably find some good results in the smaller bullets as well. My first (and only) 6/284 was my doggin' rig for several seasons and it had a track record of 638 out of 804. Greater than 90% of these shots were over 250yds and many of them extended to as far as 700 or so yards. I think you could probably do a lot with what you have unless you really want to see what the 105 A-Max can really do to prairie dog! It's definitely a quick (if not sometimes messy!) kill, I do know that! Anyhow, that's a good bullet if you want to get out there. Do you know how many shots have been through the bbl? I have noticed that my .243's will eat bbl's alive if I shoot all my loads at or very near max. TH [/QUOTE]
