I've always felt the .243 was underrated as a long distance gun. Too many connotations it's a "kids" or "woman's" gun. For punching paper, it can go comfortably beyond the 400 yard mark.

I'm sure you can coax quite a bit more out of all the cartridges listed. Unfortunately, I only reload for my .45's and my shotguns, so I'm stuck, for the time being, with factory ammo, and a budget that pushes me towards the Remmy green boxes...
