[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 458737, member: 24284"] Agreed, the .22-250 isn't a deer rifle, although many use then where legal. The .260 Rem. w/140g bullet launched at 2800fps. still has 950+ ft.lbs. of energy @ 500yds. I regulary build rifles with #3 & #4 contour barrels that shoot 1/2" and [B][I]smaller[/I][/B] 3 shot groups @100yds. Heavy barrels just take longer to heat up, important for longer 'strings of fire'. Intended use [I]must[/I] be taken into consideration. Bench rest rifles have no place in the field for a 'carry rifle', hunting rifles won't be competitive at a bench rest match. [/QUOTE]
