What is an 22 243

[.25AOD]

The 87 V-Max in 6mm has a BC of .400 and the 95 VLD is .529. Any 6mm worth it's salt (read 6mm Rem. here) will shoot either of those bullets faster than a .22-243 will shoot an 80 grainer. It'll hit harder and doesn't require any fooling around with brass. It's also a legal deer/pronghorn rifle in any state... the .22s are not. I shot a .22-250 and Swift for years... but I'm a firm believer that the 6mm's have the .22 centerfires covered in spades... with the single exception of volume varmint shooting. ~JT

but you could make a 22-250 from a 308 case if you wanted to. i had a book a few years ago that was all about the relationship of cartridges. if i can find it or remember it, ill post it here.

i shoot a 22-243 with 80 gr bergers @ 3500fps, chrony @ 100yrds gives a bc of .610 i have a 243 that i shoot 95gr bergers out of and in my opinion it kicks the crap out of it. it does twice the damage of the 243 on game and metal plates.

I've killed 244 Coyotes in the last two seasons with a .22-243 Middlested.14 twist,55 grain Ballistic tips at 3850 fps.
Very Deadly.

When you know, you know....

No insult meant, just being funny.

He's not interested in heavies.
He wants the speed.
Like lightning; fast, flat, and strikes 'em to the ground.

Lrdsdmn,

No disrespect meant by me either, but this is a fourteen year old thread that you ran across.

I'm sure they have it figured out by now.

Haha, nice.
Was in my suggested reading that comes in emails. I thought those were all new and active threads. My bad, I guess.

[Varmint Hunter]

My 22-243AI can launch a 75gr A-Max bullet at 3,670 ft/sec with unbelievable accuracy. It was my primary groundhog rifle for taking fat PA grounhogs out to 1,000 yds.

thats pretty impressive, i have a tikka .22 creed pushing a 77tmk at 3550, 6 cm brass necked down in one pass to 22, load and go. not pushing them hard as i shoot it alot and barrels take time to change over here!
