[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 136520, member: 10"] [b]Re: Opinions wanted, again.....[/b] MachV, No worries from me, I know you were razzing me a bit!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I already have a 22-250 AI, 22-6mm AI and 6-284 in the rack, adding a 243 just seems repetative to me but there is no doubt as to its level of performance. My brother has a Ruger M77MkII in the varminter chambered in 243 and he shoots the 55 gr Ballistic tips to 4250 fps pretty comfortably with sub 1/2 moa groups. It is truely an awsome varmint hammer out to 500 yards or so, even farther in good conditions. As to my ideas playing with the hornet case, you picked up on what I wanted to do, get a bit more performance then the HMR but in a reloadable cartridge. The HMR is a great little round but it gets spendy to shoot in higher volume. Once set up, I suspect the cost of a smaller centerfire 17 or 20 cal round would be at least half that of the 17 HMR ammo costs. I am not sure how Rugers gets that finish on their barrels.
