A deal could be sorted with ease!
Made me think, I want a heavier pill... I'm keen on 80gr min loads for the "Heavy" so I really want a fast twist barrel, be it 22-250 or .243 but after Reading Gimps post again I though that a 22-250 loaded with 80Gr A-max pills would be a nice compromise and they'll flatten everything I'm after including Deer under 200yds (Not intended for Deer use though).
