[QUOTE="djm670, post: 870993, member: 36341"] Sure sounds to me like you might like a stock 6 mm remington. Almost a 100 ft per second faster then a .243 with a longer neck and they seem to have better barrel life. One can buy stock ammo that will run a 100 grain bullet to 3100 ft/second and still have almost 1000 (904) ft-lbs of energy at 500 yards. And you can hand load it to a bit stronger... Kind of fits right below the stock 7 mm remington and 6.5x.284. Of course you could fit a stock .25-06 in between the 6.5x.284 and the 6 mm Remington. So maybe you need two more rifles. I have both a .25-06 and a a 6 mm Remington and think I like using the 6 mm Remington more for your purposes. [/QUOTE]
