adam, it really is a great round. a friend of mine shoots a 700 in this cal. his dad had a pet load he came up with that we never got to discover but whats left of his reloads are unreal. varmint wise (well compared to .243) great round. i would own one by now except that for every deer i kill in a northampton county corn field, there is another in a pike county swamp. simply put, when your in thick and the angle is less than perfect, i would like something more than 117 grains. i kill most my deer with a .308 and have never knocked one flat in its tracks! i have seen two get this pill and drop like lightning hit them. it is def the next rifle i would like to have. i can imagine midwest folk love what this caliber has to offer also
