Interesting this section of the topic to me, I'm thinking about putting in for a variation, mainly for dedicated fox, I had my mind set on 22-250, but after a visit to a couple of rfd I think I'm more likely to go 223 or just go 243, due to the ammo choice of 22_250 ; I was also advised that after 600 rounds plus a new barrel will be required on the 22-250, not sure if this is true !
So my mind set was 223, then when I looked at ammo costs, there's nothing in it between 223 & 243 , so I may just go 243 that will be the correct calibre for deer if I decide to go that way & more th
