[QUOTE="bstomper, post: 1510304, member: 37250"] I feel the need to buy another gun but I'm not sure which caliber to buy. I most likely won't hunt big game with it because I will just use my 7RM just so I have the confidence of the larger cartrage at further distances if I need to reach out. So i'm looking for something that will be cheaper to reload and have less kick and still have good accuracy for targets and varmint/predators at medium ranges (600ish yards). I have been tossing back and forth a few calibers but don't have any hands on experience with any of them, just what I have been searching online. The 243 win. 6.5 creedmoor and the 223 rem are the calibers that I have been leaning towards. To be honest, I have been leaning towards the 243 but keep changing my mind for what ever reason. As far as the 6.5 creedmoor goes, It will be roughly the same cost to reload as my 7RM, so I may as well just use the 7RM. The 223 and the 243 would definately be cheaper to load and have less kick, but I believe the 243 would out perform the 223 and if needed, I could always use it for deer. I guess it sounds like I have my mind made up but I would love to hear opinions from you guys with experience in these calibers. [/QUOTE]
