I'm with you, rost495, a .224" 55 grain bullet traveling at 3,800 fps or a .243" 55 grain bullet speeding at 4,000+ fps with both wreck whatever the intended target is. I like the 243 Win but I also like the 22-250 Rem for its intended purposes. Modern bullet construction and offerings have changed the game mightily in the smaller calibers and given them the ability to kill bigger than they are.

A 22-250 with a 62 grain TTSX is a pretty devastating killing bullet.

A 243 with a 100 grain partition is the same.


There are 2 rules to success:

1. Never tell everything that you know.
