He loses all rational thinking when you touch on a 243 secretly dave walks past and pokes every 243 in the shop!
Forgive my slight oversight! I forgot that you 2 bums had 6mills because you both showed up to hunt, with decent gear.
Do what ya want! Ya will anyway.
I suppose a 243 is cheaper than a sex change .
Kiwiwjames you should come down for week in early jan. Seems I have an opening now

Come on me old mate. I will become a tradition. You can invite all your mates to laugh at the retard from the coast, floundering around Keneperu trying to catch fish.
KJ should come down. He will keep you honest on the steel and more importantly on the whiskey, you might get thru half a bottle between you

Had a wee think today about the suitability of a short 7mm as a forum wildcat.
I presumed it could have a few practical features.........
1. quietness and low recoil when suppressed. (Great for those 4 pound single shots !)
2. Economical to reload
3. Fits factory short actions
4. Std 22-250, 243, 7mm08 boltface
5. And 3000fps+ with 120 Ballistic Tips or TTSX projectiles for humane harvesting.
With that in mind I used a 7mm mandrel and opened up the neck of some Rem and Sako 22-250 brass.
STD 22-250 and 7mmFEH (forum elite hunter)

The 7mm/22-250 holds 40 grains of adi2208 to the neck shoulder junction, no doubt a faster burn rate powder would give us the velocity we need.
Shouldn't be too hard to get a reamer made, or use a std 22-250 reamer and a 7mm throater.
22-250 dies can have the neck altered/bigger bushing or blank dies reamed.
If the chambering is too slow or lacks excitement for some then a simple ream to 7mm08 returns the rifle to its former glory.
It's no LR bomber but bush edge and less than 250 yrds should see it in its element, - perhaps maybe
