    The shorter you go the larger the holes in the Barrel. But note recoil and noise increase. 308 Family case size , 30, 338, 358 will all make Big holes and the best use of a short barrel. of course...

    Deer243 covered it well. There is no one bullet for everything. With 22 to 30 cal for short range hunting then yes a standard bullet will work as well as anything The premium bullets come into...

    well you got to keep the 22RF. Then the Hornet has to stay now that we have LiL-Gun. Hence the 223 Has to go. Now 243 vs 6.5x55 us 6.5-06. The 6.5 06 is odd, if its a good range rifle Keep it else...
