[QUOTE="novaman64, post: 303509, member: 16158"] Looking at tradin in the 243, and getting a 6.5mm sized bullet. I originally bought the 243 as a 1 round do all, but now I am thinking I will get a 6.5mm sized bullet, and then save up and down the road look into getting a 223... For now a 6.5 will still kill a coyote (im not after fur). Anyways, I was looking at getting a Tikka T3 Lite. Doesnt look like you can get one chambered in 260 rem in the US, but you can get a 6.5x55. Whats the difference in the rounds? I was looking to shoot berger VLD's in either a 130 grain... The main reason I liked the 260 was that I could save all my 243 brass and neck it up to 260.... I would like to try and stretch it out at the range to 1000yrds on occasion... Other than that will be a deer/pig gunl and coyote untill I get a 223.... [/QUOTE]
