[QUOTE="matt_3479, post: 1641875, member: 23070"] If it was me I’d be going 6mm for sure. Unless you were looking to do a custom build then I’d consider a 25 cal. The new 131gr blackjacks for the 25 cal are crazy and if you built around that bullet then I’d go 25. If not then 6mm for sure. Better bc bullets, better factory offerings for both 243. Win or 6mm creed, lighter recoil, if you reload, less powder, better brass for both (lapua, alpha, Peterson). To me it’s a no brainer. 115vld from Berger for the 25 cal is actually a bc of .483 where the 105hybrid in 243 cal is .536 and will be pushed 3100 range from both. You could probably get 3050 with the 115dtacs and both of those options are beating the 25 cal. I just finished a 6mm build for that exact purpose. But I’d also like a heavy 22 cal. A 75vld at .43-.46 bc at 3400+ is pretty impressive as well. 22-250 AI or 22 creed is another viable option. [/QUOTE]
