What would you guys chamber up for a little heavier varmint style gun used for targets/steel/groundhogs and maybe a deer one day.
Any favorites? range will be pretty much as far as I can get proficient at shooting say 600 yards at first.
Thanks There are a lot of good ones. How often do you want to re-barrel and what is a realistic max distance. I shoot a lot and got tired of putting barrels on the 6.5-284 so I switched to an 8 twist 6br with 107's. All depends what you are looking for. 6BR 243 6x47L 6-284
