[QUOTE="davidu, post: 2072058, member: 115072"] There’s lots of good advice here. There’s no one good answer to your question except “it depends”. IMHO, Are the PD towns shot at a lot? If so then forget the 17 HMR because you will be shooting past 200 yds and ANY wind kills that caliber Are you planning on spotting for each other? If not then the 6.5 CM with a brake and a chassis with your scope turned down to below 20x is the largest caliber where you see your misses if the ground is dry. How many rounds are you planning on shooting in a day? The 204Ruger and 22-250 will heat up in a big hurry. The 223Rem, 6CM and 6.5CM stay cooler a little longer. Assuming all your rifles have heavy varmint or M24 contour barrels, which is a good idea. If you are going to a place where there’s plenty of shooting then I would highly recommend a 223cal and a 6mm or 6.5mm caliber of your liking. I take a 17HMR, 204Ruger, 223Rem, 22-250, 6CM, and a 6.5CM because you never know what the conditions are going to dictate. It’s a 17-20 hour drive to PD Land! [/QUOTE]
