    The BR is amazing for its size. Not far behind a .243 despite being a far smaller case. The heavy brass and small primer allow it to run a higher pressures without murdering the brass.

    Mine is used as walking varminter and I've changed to 75 V-Maxes from 87s as the 87s weren't that spectacular on splat factor. You're burning roughly 31grs of powder which is only slightly more than a .223 but the performance gain is huge. Super accurate, low recoil and reasonably good barrel life. What's not to like?
