Better caliber for long range shooting 7mm or 243?

[QUOTE="Don Ward, post: 495217, member: 19118"] A 243 in a factory twist with a decent BC bullet like 95 VLD mentioned above if it likes them or a heavier Ballistic tip or Scirocco makes a good 500 yd gun for your purposes. The factory twist 243s I've had experience with (limited) all shot one of the above well and put a hurt on the 632 yard gong. I know some have even liked the 105gr when pushed hard. We use the 243 quite a bit for deer & antelope with great success. Ours are twisted for the heavier bullets (105), but they are still a cool cartridge with the lighter ones and very effective. Just plain fun to shoot. [/QUOTE]
