I see your .50 BMG, .577 Trex, and even the puny .700 NE

And raise you 20x82mm...

Denel NTW 20 Rifle

Perfect varmint caliber.....

if you're hunting helicopters

That would make a sweet bush gun

If you wanted to log it !

anybody had experience with 22br? seems like a cool cartridge but I guess neck turning would be required

did they mention how fast projectiles where goin????????

I run a 22BR for testing bullets I make & they are an awesome cartridge. The barrel I have here is a 1in 10" twist MAB which I use in my Rem 700 (switch barrel). It's so consistently accurate it almost gets boring! If you have a look at data for them they tread right on the heals of a 22-250 for a bit less powder & very easy to get shooting well without a lot of messing around.
I form cases out of 6BR brass but it's very easy to do, just run them through a 22BR FLS die & then a bit of a neck turn (for my rifle) & all ready to go.
Shoots my 52gr Targex into one hole & the 69gr Targex go into .25" @ 100m. The little water balloons at 500m are a bit too easy so we are going to try them further out sometime. My two boys got bored with it as they were getting them every time.
This would be my pick for a straight out varmint rifle cartridge but for a target & varmint I would go 6BR but obviously there are a lot of different ideas out there which is what makes it all interesting!

The only real accurate 50 is the HMG if one round misse's the other ones will soon find there mark!

got 130gr barnes in a dirty 30 going over 4340fps

a 110gr barnes would go faster dont think anthing else would like a push up the bum that much
