6mm Rem Just because it works.
Well we're Green and we're Gold, and we play better when it's cold. All us Cheese heads have our favorite superstar. We love Brett Favre.

Ditto.....no explanation required.....just 80+ years of empirical data.

If your trying to keep the recoil down, the 243, 6mm or 250 savage is the way to go
