[QUOTE="Nimrod1203, post: 620355, member: 35129"] Welcome to the forum! I've got a .25-06 shooting the 115 gr combined technology at 3100 fps. Accuracy is under 1/2 MOA at 100, and I've shot the tops off bowling pins at 200 yards. As far as terminal ballistics on up to deer size game(so bigger than dogs) it's limit is roughly 600 yards, so well past your 500 meter limit. ballisticly it's a great cartridge with that 115 grain, and factory ammo is everywhere with bigger bullets, you won't have to have a special twist barrel on the .243 or need anything other than a factory rig for the 115 gr. Mine wears a 26 inch match shilen on a tikka m695 action. Trigger is amazing, action is like silk. It's wearing a vortex viper hs 4-16. I'd say it'd be the perfect dog gun! Here is a picture of it. Forgive the paint job, I've since upgraded it to a Mcmillan stock. If you go .25-06 you won't be sorry!
