I don't understand why the .223 and .22-250 are the most popular calibers for varminting. At least that's what the mags say.
The .243 will outperform those calibers in just about every way, then do things those calibers can't--or shouldn't legally.
I do understand the plethora of .223 ammo and brass available. But, what about the .22-250? Couldn't the brass be just as available because the .242 is also popular for other shooting?
I know the .223 is abundantly available and "cheap", so please, other than that, tell me why I shouldn't use a .243 for the same varminting you all use the .223 and .22-250 for.
This is not a challenging question, and not meant to start an arguement or flaming. I really want to know because I don't have a long distance varmint rifle and I was leaning toward the .243 when Savage puts the ACCUTRIGGER on it. I could also use it for white tail
Thanks for your help
