Guys, awesome feedback, very helpful. Just based off what I have on hand I'm going to go with the 22-243 but a standard version, not the middlestead.

The plan now will be to add a 1-8", pac-nor stainless and probably go for 26" length. Plan will be to focus on the 62-75gr side but I'm sure I'll play around with 80-90gr as well. I really like the Amax but will probably try the Bergers as well.

I'll let you guys know how it goes and get some pics up once its all done!!
