Default RE: Which varmit caliber should I get?
ORIGINAL: Borty77
I don't know much about the calibers, but Im looking into varmit gun, I already have a .22. Something to shoot a lot of targets, but also maybe a coyote or something. Flat shooting and long range trajectory. Ive seen the .17 hmr, 220 swift, .223, .22-250 and some others. I need to learn more about the varmit rounds before I get one. Thanks
For shooting a lot of targets, and occasional chucks & coyotes, it's hard to beat a 223.
Ammo is relatively cheap too.
For long range varminting, go with the 22-250.
If you want a "dual purpose" varmint/big game cartridge, and good for long range use
on varmints, then go with a rifle in 243Win.
