[QUOTE="J Doss, post: 1676154, member: 109284"] It depends on what type of hunting I'm doing??? If I'm doing calling competitions, I use a 223Rem in a Rem 700. I opt for the lighter caliber because - in calling competitions, weight counts. I don't want to blow much weight away. Ranges in my hunting areas are generally within 200 yards. If I'm just hunting, I have two calibers I rotate between - 220 Swift and 17 Rem. I bought those guns back in the 80's and shoot them out to 700 yards of conditions allow. I have shot them enough in the West Texas wind that I could stretch them out further if needed. Those are my favorites for varmits. I do have a number of other calibers that I have and do hunted with occasionally, just to shoot something different. 17HMR to 257 Roberts. I haven't gotten on to the Creedmore kick yet. I haven't bought or built a new gun in a year or so, so who knows. Keep on shooting Something! [/QUOTE]
