For fun, excitement and love of wildcatting = 6x47 (6mmx222 Mag), 6mm Bullberry ( 6mmx30-30 Improved) 6mmx284. For off the shelf readiness, etc= .243, (from varmints to deer) 6mm Remington ( long range prairie dogs/deer) and for deer/antelope, even elk .240 Weatherby. Love em! For some reason, where I grew up in Se Texas, the 6mm in the Mod 742 "took off"! I only saw two .243s in my younger life! But it was considered a flat shooting, accurate, fast killer w/o tearing up those little deer.
