[QUOTE="gregw83, post: 919793, member: 77352"] Thanks for the input guys. I've decided on the .243 after some suggestions and from searching midwayusa and other sites seeing how there is a much larger bullet selection for the 6mm over the 6.5. unfortunately as jud pointed out, I am buying a savage model 12 lrp, and it offers both the 243 and 260 only with 9.25 twist rates, but the 87gr v max as mentioned in the replies has a .4 bc, and should stabilize well in that twist rate barrel. the rifle is also offered in 6.5 cm with a 1-8 twist, but it seems to me that the 260 shoots the heavier high bc bullets a bit faster, meaning a bit flatter. since a woodchuck isn't a steel plate at a known distance, I'd opt for a flatter shooting round.
