[QUOTE="bigdogone, post: 2286731, member: 116192"] Well, one other person has said it already, but I'll say it again because I think it's worth considering. .243 Win. Mine is an absolute deer hammer. You can go long with it. It's been around long relative to some of the others and will have ready availability of components and loaded ammo. I like to shoot copper 85 gr pills, but it will handle 55-127 gr which seems to fit your gap. I am a traditionalist on caliber selection. There are a number of others who prefer more modern and the modern equivalent of 243 Win is 6mm Creedmoor. If you're shooting factory ammo, the 6mm Creedmoor ammo will be loaded with higher bc bullets that will carry speed better at distance, crossover between 200-300 yards normally. All this is non-issue if handloading. The 243 parent cartridge is 308 which is as common as you'll find. The 6mm CM parent is 6.5 CM. I don't think you can loose either way. Good luck with the new rifle! [/QUOTE]
