    Decided on a second hand rem 700 in .243. Will shoot it until the barrel is poked then re barrel in 22-250. :-D

    Nah... you'll rebarrel to .243

    Bloody handy little powder burner there... Varmints will be rather... inedible though. Unless you aim for the eyes. Even then.... yikes.

    Ha we'll see.
    Took it to the range on the weekend with a couple of different loads.
    Some Sierra 60grain hollow points and some Hornady 87 grain vmax.
    60 grain are fast but shot like a bag of shit.
    Shot a 23mm 4 shot group witj the Vmaxes so will work on them for now I think.

    Anyone else got any load suggestions?
