303: only because there wasn't a useful alternative at the time. Otherwise they would have been stacked 50 high at the dump.

I thought I’d give the 73g ELDM a try in the 223. All shoulder shots 100-220m and they didn’t make it far. 272403 272404 272406

It's a lot of fun. A step up from the .223 but not sure it's really necessary. The whole set up cost me $2,200 from scratch including base .243 rifle so it's not a cheap path, and then you add dies,...

I bought a 4-12 Passion when they first came out. Used it for a while and then put it onto a M55 Tikka .243 I gave to my Grandson. He uses it a lot. It's a damned good scope - sort of like a vx3 but...
