something in between?
I have a 22, 22 hornet, 7mm-08, 270wsm, 30-06 and 338
I am looking for something in between the 22 and 7mm08. Thinking about a .243 or .260. No arguments about the 7mm being better or the same as the .260 please. I am aware of the ballistics and bullet weights etc. Just want to fill the niche in between with a 6mm style thoughts? |
In Between?
If you reload you might want to consider one of the 25's.
250/3000(250 Savage) 257 Roberts 25/06 The Savage model14 can be had in the 250 and Ruger chambers the Roberts. GOOD LUCK and GOOD SHOOTING!!! |
I think the 25-06 would be a great choice. A nice quarter bore with plenty of punch
|
I love my .243 and think the cartridge is one of the few "real" dual purpose cartridges !
.............and you don't have to be a reloader to find ammo for anything you want to use it for; Varmints/Predators or Deer. BTW - It can hold it's own from the bench as well. |
.243. No question...
|
.22hornet................7mm-08
in between isn't .25-06 IMO .243win is pretty nice, I'd also consider .223 Rem or .22-250 Rem don't forget the .243 and 7mm-08 share the same case, I'd avoid the .260rem |
I understand your "size goal" but, what purpose do you have in mind for this rifle?
If you are looking for a varmit rifle that is one thing; a deer rifle in another to me. I am not looking for an argument on the subject because, I know that lots of folks use the 243 for deer successfully. That should be limited to small deer. I am not much of a believer in "dual purpose" in this instance. Therefore, if this is to be a deer rifle, a 260 would be my minimum. |
