[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1073718, member: 78569"] I have a .243 that I've had a blast shooting varmints with at 500+ yards. The sporter barrel limits the number of round I can shoot and I wince a little at the cost. I'm thinking of getting a dedicated varmint rig and something cheaper to shoot. I have a .17 HMR but 300 yards is pushing it. I'm looking for a high performance/good cost benefit ratio cartridge. 204 Ruger seems to have cheaper Winchester brass (Midway) so that seems to have the best cost benefit ratio I'm not too familiar with this caliber so looking for accuracy input. Thinking savage model 12. I've noticed that all the Nosler BT .20 through .22 bullets have a lower BC than the .243 55 gr. I'm using now but at 3900 fps, I don't seem to have too much trouble with wind. Also considering .220 swift .22-250 .223 (maybe AR build) [/QUOTE]
