Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Goodbye 243 I'm done

Well how important is 4000fps with a 55 gr. Bullet? What kind of barrel life does that get you. For the varminting I do a 60 gr. bullet at 3400 fps works great, that being coyotes and prairie dogs. And I like a 115-120 gr. bullet at 3000 fps plus better than a skinnier bullet that weighs 100 grains any day. I just don't need a compromise rifle.
