Perfect Varmint Caliber???

[Dom]

Well, I'm not so sure there is a perfect varmint caliber, at least for as many conditions and variations that are involved, and then throw in fun. So, I'll have fun and pick 3 based on distances.

Out to 100: .22 Magnum
100-200: Hornet
200 beyond: 22-250

Based on your plinking, fun, and varmints, it'd be a close toss up between the 22M and Hornet.

Now if I had a 17HMR, I might just be tootin' that horn.

223 wouldn't be a bad choice, but I'm not sure I'd call it a plinker. I think the 22-250 is a fantastic caliber that outperforms the 223 without going to barrel eating as long as you don't heat it up too Swift ly.

Well Big Joe, I done gone and did you a big favor -- just get three new rigs ;-) Waidmannsheil, Dom.
