[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1670922, member: 78569"] I would consider the 204 Ruger. Past 400 yards, wind drift with it is a bit challenging but fun. I shoot the 40 grain bullets and the BC's of those are similar to 68 grain 22 caliber bullets. The 22-250 is a good choice but if you want to shoot more than 55 grains, you might need a tighter twist than what is most common. I've shot the .243 with 55 grain bullets and it is fun as well. However, considering the recoil of the .243, I would opt for the .204 as it has the same velocity but has much less recoil and ammo is cheaper. [/QUOTE]
