[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1506074, member: 30902"] * It's faster but you still have the same limitations due to microscopic BC's. Out to 400yds you're fine, beyond that or if there's any significant wind things get squirrely in a hurry. The .22's like the Swift and -250 are much better at longer ranges and in the wind. The .243 and 6.5's are vastly superior to all of the above beyond 400yds and if you stick to rounds like the 6.5 Grendyl, .243, .260 Rem and 6.5CM the recoil, particularly with the 100-120gr class bullets is mild enough for just about anyone even without a suppressor or brake. Add either one and it's on par with the .204 and .17 Rem. [/QUOTE]
