So I'm debating on switching out my .243 for a 6mm wildcat or a 22-250ai
So far I'm thinking...
6mm-06 (or ai)
6xc (6mm-250)
22-250 ai
More than likely be in a single shot Encore barrel
Opinions?

Efw has a 6-250 and really likes it. He might be able to give you some guidance

Wildcat ? I don't need no stinking wildcat. The standard 6mm Remingtons I have work just fine.

6mm-06 is my choice. What is there not to love about a 105 VLD at 3400 FPS?

I like my 6MM AI with 1-13 1/2 twist and 70 gr just over 4080 fps and 55 gr over 4350 fps.
The Coyotes dont like it much.

You can reach Amber your 243 into a 6mm 284. I have two. They are effective.

Of course for a real fun gun the 6x45 is a blast.

What praytell will it be used for? That'll determine whether a recommendation for a mild pussycat accurate bench gun or a sizzling hottie for long range hunting/varminting is called for.

I have a Rem 700 custom in 240 weatherby that is a coyotes nightmare. Other than expensive brass, it’s a great gun and cartridge.

I'm not a speed junkie, just like to shoot for accuracy. I have a Rem 700 custom in 240 weatherby that is a coyotes nightmare. Other than expensive brass, it’s a great gun and cartridge. I have no idea how I forgot about the 240Wby. Another one into the mix. thanks

Accurate bench shooting, not a speed junkie, Encore barrel so no feeding issues ---> Forget wildcat and go 6mm PPC or 6mm BR.

In that case I nominate 6x47 (the old one), or for a little more oomph, 6x47 Lapua or 6mm BR.

A third option that's pretty similar to the 6mm PPC is the 6mm Grendel variants (243 LBC, 6mm AR, etc); those are real similar to the 6 PPC except the shoulder is blown forward just a little (matches a standard Grendel shoulder), no turn necks, and they are usually throated for heavier high-b.c. bullets.
