Wow thanks everyone great info. This will be mainly a pig/coyote gun. I said p-dogs because I like to shoot them and like to use them to sight in a gun because I dont have a shooting range close to me. So I have prairie dog guns .22lr, 22-250, and my brother has an ar 15 in 223. I am also entertaining the idea of an ar15 style weapon in a cal larger than 223 because we run on herds of wild hogs of 50-100 every week or so and would like to be able to really deal out some hurt on them.
Sadly I have only shot 22 223 22-250 in rifle, never anything bigger. How is the .243 kick compared to these or say a .12ga?
As of right now I like the sound of the 223, but as mentioned my brother has that cal.
So that moves me to 243, or 7mm08. The cost of the 7mm08 ammo takes me away from it because I want to be able to shoot it casually and enjoy it as well, as use it for practical purpose.
perhaps I need to just get the 223
This like ponds is so confusing yet so much fun. I love doing the research
