Re: Is there any need for the .243 or .25?

In reply to:
But a .22/250 or .222 does far better than a .243 anyday for the small stuff.
True, as long as wind is not a factor. This is where the 6mm/257 camp really blows the 22 cals away.
Of course, the 6.5mm pills perform even better under such conditions.
Fortunately, logical or technical justification does not a cartridge make! The quarterbores and the 6s still sell very well and take game every year reliably. I use both for varmints and antelope. In fact, just now waiting on a #1 in 6mm.
Somebody told me I couldn't make a good long range antelope rifle out of a Ruger #1....
I love a challenge!
Later.
