[QUOTE="CBH Australia, post: 2186717, member: 116486"] Well, I'm a fan of the 7mm-08, bit that's out for you. I shoot foxes with it but I guess you keep you coyote skins. I met a fella through another forum who could write a great rant about his distaste for the .243 My wife has one and has shot foxes and pigs. I'm sure the 17" barrel will reduce performance in any calibre. The .243 is probably slowed right up for a cartridge that might need some velocity to be effective. I like small fast calibres and the effect of large slow, heavy calibres to the difference in throwing house bricks and cinder blocks. Both are going to do damage in a different way. But that slow old cinder block is coming down hard it it hits its mark. In Australia we would calm it a Besser block. You have it half right. [/QUOTE]
