    If you reload you could go to something like 22/243 and a fast twist rifle to shoot the high bcr's pills or slow twist and run the 40grn at 4000fps for flat shooting

    Some rifles, like my 243 (e.r shaw barrel 1 10 twist) seems to shoot the heavier or light projectiles rather well. It shoots 100gr well under a inch and i can shoot a .9 group also with 55gr silvertips doing 4000fps as well(factory ammo). Just for the sheer cost i wouldnt use my 243 for varmit shooting, a 223 with the cheaper ammo option would be very good.
