[QUOTE="woodnut, post: 1599831, member: 17593"] Hummm, hunting deer, pronghorns and coyotes. That sounds like open country to me. For the most part anyways. So why cut the barrel to 20 "? Not going to save much weight and doesn't sound like a lot of heavy brush to interfere with a longer barrel. I have had a 243 and now I have 2 rifles in 6 CM. Mine have an 8 twist for heavier bullets and when I do my part, it is wickedly accurate! My barrels are 26" and I'm coasting 108 ELDs at 3100. Flat, flat shooting to 1000. Same bullets as in a 243, but somehow the 6 CM is very accurate. Plus, Hornady makes some fine factory ammo when you need it. I'm sure you can find plenty of 243 ammo as well. But I would re-think the barrel length but definitely go with the 6 CM. Just MHO though. Hope those thoughts help. [/QUOTE]
