    Ahhh, calibres smaller than a full length magnum - .222Rem, .223, anything in the .308 case, .284Win, .270, .280Rem... Short magnums are ok but I would hope someone wanting to use those would ask me first. The no full length magnum rule is to save my targets a bit. I think a .223 won the event two years ago and a .260AI won it last year. 6.5x55 and 22-250 have been up in the placings as well. Within reason it is generally the shooter that make the difference between a hit and a miss over the calibre.
