[QUOTE="nkyshooter, post: 2177069, member: 83787"] If 3 rifles ... 17 HMR, 223, and 243 although the 6.5CM with the 95gr vmax in lieu of 243 with 87gr vmax is a fine choice as well ... however, with the 243, you could take 55gr ballistic tips or 58gr vmax in addition to the heavier bullets and blow away the 22-250 easily ... If only 2 rifles, then the 223 and 243. I had this exact same decision to make 4 yrs ago when my dad and I went ... we took the following since we could each take 2 rifles: 17hmr 223 (heavy barrel - bolt action) 6mm BR 260 Ackley We had a blast ... BTW - the one that got shot the most? ... the 223 ... ammo is (was at that time) cheap ... 50 rounds of Fiocchi with 50gr vmax for $20 ... 40 cents a shot isn't far off what we could load it for ... back then No matter what you take you will have fun ... with pdogs, the faster the round is moving at impact, the more fun it is.
