[QUOTE="GonzoK34, post: 1640855, member: 8915"] The 243 is an excellent choice. However most come with a 1/9.25 twist so you can't load a bullet heavier than 100 grains. In windy conditions wind drift will push your bullet off target. The 7-08 is a much better choice. I competed in shilouette matches to 500 meters with great success. My Rem700 is a 1/9.25 twist and shoots the 120 v-max up to the 168 gr Hornady ELD Match effectively to 800 yards. It has dropped deer, pigs and elk to 700 yards. [B]BUT, [/B]The 6.5 Grendel is now available in the CZ 527 American with set trigger. Howa Mini Mauser, and a couple of others. I've had a Grendel AR15 that I've taken pigs, deer and elk shooting the 123 SST all one shoot kills. pig 300, deer 25, 80, 200, 375 and 450yds. My son and daugther have taken deer over the past years and enjoy the low recoil. Check out the photo of my 6.5 Howa Mini Mauser results from 4 days ago down in the desert with a 15-29 mph wind. 123 SST Hornady. Nightforce NSZ 3.5-15 x 50 scope Consider when making your decision future hunting plans. My kids and now my grandchildren learned starting with a BB gun, pellet rifles, 22, 22mag, 22 Hornet, 223, 243, 6.5s, 7-08, 308, and 30-06. My daughter has taken elk with my 300WinMag. Teach em right and have an awesome time recalling those experiences. SEMPER FIDELIS [/QUOTE]
