I know that this is sort of an open ended question, but...............It's about time to start thinking bout a winter project.
If looking at centerfire rifles between .220 and .264 for something that is accurate to 300 yards+, has good barrel life, cheap to shoot or reload, is not easily affected by the wind and still has some energy left in it when it gets where it is going, what caliber would it be?
Bullet size from between 40-50 grain up to 100-120.
Varmits would range from groundhogs to yotes and paper would range from paper to............
In "common" calibers, I think my 3 nods would go to 222, 223 and 243. Am I wrong in thinking that?
In other calibers, I am thinking 6BR. Probably no PPC's.
Other options???
