    Varmint Cal

    Hey Guys,

    I'm planning a new Varmint rifle build and want some advice please.

    I plan to use it for mainly rabbits, but we do see goats regularly and the odd fallow.

    My plan was to use the 22-250AI throated for 75 Amax, but considering the bullet weight and powder charge size I might just be better stepping up to 6mm or 6.5mm.

    I'm looking at these in order of preference 6.5x47 Lapua, 6.5 Creedmoor, .243 Win, 6x47 Lapua etc..

    What I would like to know "is anyone using a .243 or .264 for varminting?"

    Cheers.
