Thread: Best alround varmint cartridge

And the 6mm Rem/6mm AI - 22/6mm Rem (would love one of these as a 'plaything') or its AI version. Plus 25/06 Rem/AI. Pretty sure there are quite a few others we've all missed, as well

223 brass is readily available (and cheap), plenty of recipes around for 'home brewing' your own 'pet load' and there's plenty of varmints (mainly rabbits), around to practise on. Pity that second hand rifles (all action types) are priced at near new, new or greater than new prices by the seller - the units are SECOND HAND! Restricts shooters on a (pension) budget, from renewing a 'love affair' with varmint hunting *sigh*

What's your budget, there's more than a few sub $1000 centerfire rifles out there these days, The Ruger American, Savage Axis, Rem 770, etc.

I use a Remington 788 in 222 it was cheap and is extremely accurate perfect for the job
