I'm kicking around the idea of having a 243 bolt gun built. Its use would be for a calling type rifle and would not shoot anything larger than a coyote.
I'm a big fan of the 6mm bullets and like the range and availability of the reloading components. I will reload for this rifle.
Ideally, I would like to shoot bullets in the 55-75 gr range. Does anyone see a problem with this? I know the charts says bullets in this range will be screaming. Would bullets in this range stabilize? I really want it to be "bug hole" accurate too.
I'm not sure if a rifle could be built to do what I want. Any ideas on twist rate, barrel length, etc?
My wishlist would be
McMillan or HS Stock
Krieger Barrel 24"
Rem 700 action
Jewell trigger
I would also be open to other calibers
