    I choose the 80gr amax doing about 3200.
    But I'm sure you will have fun and get good success from the 243 plenty of people rate the 87grain vmax in 6mm.
    in the future a fast twist .22 is going to happen . . . as you say the numbers speak for themselves . . . but right now the 6mm itch just has to be done.
    without a picture . .. it never happened !
