None. I use my 243 a lot ("go to" is the expression I think), but I do like to tinker. Have always been interested in and used the 223 and 22.250 a lot on deer and would like to see what difference 500 extra fps and 10 grn of bullet would make. Only one way to find out, and to satisfy the itch

My fast twist, 1-7 ex Crzyman 22-243 chucks the 90 Bergers out at a leisurely 3100 can go to 3200+ but haven't bothered.

The BC is .552 & it is very accurate, I have shot it out to 1300 but it is very hard to hear it "gong" it's more like "ping".

It is my goto over 500 yard bunnie gun

I prefer my 204, 40 Vmax for the sub 500 ones, much more efficent use of resources
