   Hi, Can't comment on a Howa specific but in general a 243 is a 243 and they are generally not a picky caliber to work with. I'm assuming its the typical 1:9 or 1:10 twist. Noting that this...

   For North island hunting anything from 223 to up would be fine. If you are focusing on the smaller game wallabies fallow etc then 222, 223, 220, 22-250, 243, 6mm, Also range is part of it as well. ...

   With the 1:8 the Hornady ELD in 108gr or 103gr could be on the table as well. I use the 108gr ELD-M's in mine. Z

    My 2 cents, The 308 family (243, 260, 7M08 and 308 and the CM's ) with correct bullet selection will work out to 500 mtr. But you do need the higher BC bullets (definitely in the 6 and 6.5mm sizes)...
