[QUOTE="Naymola, post: 342181, member: 3843"] I've been using a .22-243 Midd. for four years now as a calling rifle for Coyotes. I use 55 grain Nosler Ballistic tips and they do a superb job. I'm maxed out at 3800 fps with my 24" barrel, 1:14 twist. At an 1 1/2" high at 100 yards, the drop is 2" at 300. And the fact that I use Lapua .243 brass, is a extra plus. Though I hear they are making .22-250 now. Anyway, it's a good looking round. You will loose that flat trajectory going with heavier bullets, unless you're not intending to reach out there. The 55's are a good compromise for trajectory and knock down power, and will punch fist size holes on occasion. The Midd. mirrors the .220 Swift without the case stretching problems. When I burn out the barrel, I'll be going with a .243 Win and 55's. That will pick up a least 200-300 fps. [/QUOTE]
