[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 893879, member: 51650"] smtippin Not to butt back in, but, the 6.5mm's and 25/06 (and other '06 based cases) intrude on the lower end of the 7mm Remmy. Loaded with < 120gr bullets it is screaming flat to 300 yds. Loaded heavy it pounds hard way out there. The 243 was sold shooting 105gr deer bullets that the 244 Rem couldn't. It will toss Varmint weight bullets (< 85gr) fast and in wind that the 22's won't come out to play in. As soon as you upgrade from 243 you get into 7mm RM turf. Instead of picking something that the 7mm does, if I was expanding my collection near the 7mm level it would be on the other side. 300WinMag, 338 WinMag, 300 RUM etc. KB [/QUOTE]
