    either 243 or or or or go 22-250 with fast twist!!!!! plenty of room to seat out long if you want and fast twist means the 70-80grn options are there so nipping on heals of .243
    75/15/10 black powder matters

    Go 22.250 AI with a faster than usual (1-14) twist
    Then the cartridges will look funky too, and you can run it as hot or as cold as you want with a wide variety of projos. Back in the early 90's my 1-14 twist with 55gn spbt was the hammer of thor on Sika. Shot cattle beasts with fmj's too. Just rattled it up the ear canal.
