[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1055734, member: 5219"] Not handloading is holding you back. You can use other bullets and tweak the load for maximum accuracy. I got the 55 gr Nosler varmint bullet to go 4050 fps with a 24" 243 and Varget. (Federal offers this bullet in loaded ammo but it is "slow" compared what I handload at 3850 fps. ) It is very flat shooting. At the elevation where I hunt 1" high at 100 yd would be 4.6" low at 350 yds. I also worked up a load for the 6mm-284 with same bullet and varget. Easily got to 4175 fps. There is a slight gain in trajectory: 1" high at 100 is 5.5" low at 375 yds We all know the 6mm-284 will have to be retired earlier due to eroded bore. I would suggest you get into handloading so you can try different bullets and if you become crazy enough you can go for the larger capacity cartridges like the 6mm Rem AI or the 6mm-284. [/QUOTE]
