I like the .243, but I think for varmints the .22-250 is king.

For just a pure varmint cartridge I'll take the old .220 swift any day.

You put oddball cartridges up there but didn't list the most popular ones? No 22-250, and you listed 22 rimfire but didn't bother to list 22 mag, the 17HMR or the 17HM2

For me I would pick the 22-250 for a pure varmint round, and it is probably the most popular where I live.

Lots of people use the 30-06, 25-06, 6mm and 270 as well.

My favorite is a Remington 700 Varmint in 6mm.

Whats an ACCLY Improved?
It's a cartridge where the shoulder diameter is greater than the head size. It has to be insertred into the chamber backwards, andd hammered into place. Extraction is a bear!

Answer here, of course, depends on what kind of varmints youse is talkin about. For bears, I swears by the .270. Fer loose rhinos, I chooses a .257 Weatherby Magnum. This is based on the recommendations of none other than ol' Roy Weatehrby hissef. Also the .25/50 single-shot (not Remintun).

Goodness, I can't believe there is so many people on forums that actually does not know what this guy means. I mean I thought my ex wife was not bright, but goodness.

Also, can't beleive you wouldn't put a 22-250 on the list. I have a 223, and 204, and think the 22-250 is better choice over those and others listed.
We know what he means BC, look back at some of the stuff he has posted and you'll see what we mean...
