Not to ramble but, it's nearly a perfect caliber for someone who wants one varmit/predator gun, which they can also hunt deer and/or pronghorns with.

Also, a friend of mine shot the barrel out of his Winchester Model 70 and had it rebarreled and reamed to .22-243 and made a dandy varmit rifle from it. Ballistically it exceeds the .220 Swift and .22-250, although it really pulls away only in longer barrels.
