[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1969699, member: 26077"] For long shots with less wind drift at distance take a look at the 204. If you run them through the ballistic calcualtor you will be amazed at how much less wind drift a 204 produces versus the 22-250 until you get to +85 grain bullets in the 22-250. I would also consider the 223 with a 1/8 twist and 70-80 grain bullets. Another good one to run through the ballistic calcualtor. Higher B.C. and shorter time of flight are the two biggest things that will reduce drift. As far as I am concerned, the 243 is massive overkill for foxing and the short barrel life is a big draw back too. If you want to use a 6 look at the Grendel, CZ chambers these in the 527, or Creedmore, rather than the 243. Low recoil for spotting hits, easy to suppress, good B.C. for bucking the wind. [/QUOTE]
