What Caliber For Accuracy At 500 yards?

[Brithunter]

Hi All,

Well for you wants of accuracy and the ability to shoot varmints, May I suggest one of the 6mm's.

If you really want to go the whole hog then i would suggest a .243 AI shooting90 Grn VLD's. For this you would need proboably a new barrel with a slightly faster twist but such a rifle if you do your part will do very well at 600 yards. a friend has just such a machine which he built on a Savage 112, fitted a Lija 3 groove barrel in .243 AI and uses it for 600 yd High Power and 600 Bench Rest with excellent results.

Oh and loaded with 95 grb Ballistic Tips it's pure murder on Whitetails, a little bit messy on close up shots but they drop quickly.
