I have a H&R ultra varmint in 204 but have realized it is a little heavy, for a calling rifle, in the hill of Virginia. I have a Marlin XL7 in 270 and like it for deer. I am thinking of getting a XS7 in 243 as they don't make it in 204 or 22-250. I am also looking at the Stevens 200 but with a non adjustable trigger and the issues with the stock, even though I can get a 22-250, the Marlin looks like a better choice. Now to my question after the long winded ramble
. Can you usually get good accuracy with the 55 to 70 grain bullets in the 243. I would like to keep some hides but my sewing skills are lacking
. Thanks, Don
