What would you say would be the most efficent caliber for varmints in a 18 to 20 barrel? 250 yard max. Thanks. Gary

Remington Tactical .223 20" 1:9. Mine loves the 55 v-maxes so much I haven't spent the time to look for a load for the heavies.

I am hoping 18.5 inches will work for me! I just found a clean CZ 527 carbine in .223 for my new short barrel rig, cant wait to try it out this weekend!

They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.
