I'm just putting the finishing touches on a 9 twist 22-243ai. It may not last long but it's going to be fun!!!

I spoke to a Berger Tech last year about this bullet and was told that the 70 VLD probably wouldn't expand reliably on coyotes at .223 velocities. He recommended one of their flat based varmint bullets.

#2. I'm a high shoulder shooter.

It sucks that your .243 RPR barrel wouldn't shoot. I'm nearing 900 rounds through mine and it's still shooting sub 1/2 moa groups with 107 Matchkings and H4831SC.

Yes, as a matter of fact I did give them a call. I spoke with friendly young lady who assured me that I could send the rifle in at my expense where ithey would thouroghly clean the barrel and shoot a test group with premium ammo. I know that it will shoot an moa group with a cool barrel under...

I have an S2 in .240 Wby Mag that turned out to be a dud. I can shoot it five times and spend the next two nights scrubbing copper. It's the most inconsistent rifle that I've personally witnessed. I like the rifle so it went into the future projects pile. I plan to install a quality barrel...

I checked my records and I have a load for Sierra 100 Gr Gamekings that averages 2984 fps out of the same rifle. I don't think 3000 fps with a 95 would be any trouble at all.

My Rem 700 VLS .243 is pushing an 87 Vmax at 3100 fps using H4831SC. I'm pretty sure that I could get more velocity but I hit a nice accuracy node and was running out of time for a coyote hunting trip out west. StrelokPro gave me a point blank aim out to 307 yards with 3" kill zone and zero set...

I'll throw out another vote for the 243. I've smoked deer, pronghorn, coyote, and prairie dogs with my Rem 700 VLS chambered in 243. IMO it's the most versatile caliber available. I wouldn't be caught without one.

StrelokPro does everything that I need.

After much research on this very subject I decided to build off of a Remington 700 RUM action. With a little luck I was recently able to pick up a used Remington Custom Shop rifle chambered in 7mm RUM for cheap. Basically a barrel change should put me in business from here. I'm just...

I have also enjoyed my CZ 455. It is definetly one of the best shooting .22 Rimfires that I've owned. I currently have the .17 HMR barrel installed for the first time and it shoots good as well.

My 1:12 twist 527 Varmint has been sub moa at 100 yards with pretty much every hand loaded bullet that I've tried between 40 and 55 grains.

I had pretty much the same experience with StrelokPro.

I like your idea of offering long range shooter oriented hunts. I would personally prefer to experience somewhat of a stalk rather than to shoot from a shooting station with wind flags. I definetly wouldn't mind having some back up on range estimates and wind calls.
