[QUOTE="436, post: 287075, member: 16609"] Sounds like your ready to move up. Nothing wrong with either the 243 Win or the 6x47mm or 6.5x47 Lapua. What you might want to consider is; “brass”… that you already have; 22-250 Rem. I did a Weatherby MkV miniature {early} action’.., that was an originally a 22-250 Rem. I re-barreled my Wby to a 6XC, a very nice cartridge. If I had to do over again I might have went with something like a 6mm-250 mainly do to all the brass I had…. and its availability. Now hunting performance of all the aforementioned cartridges are all about the same. As for long range target work’…, well that’s where the beer(s) and the conversation kick in. On recoil, {depending on bullet weight} there all about even; with the 6.5’s having a tad more there’s nothing to be concerned about. As for twist; I think I’d stay with 1-12 for general hunting, 1-14 for varmints and 1-8 for target at long range. Good luck. 436 [/QUOTE]
