We are always looking for something new ( Our nature is more ). I'm an Old Rifleman that has shot BB Gun all the way up through the Cannons - had to experience things. I've owned pistols in 22, 41 Mag & have a 45 APC Auto now, but never favored them to the rifles. Was always aware of the T/C Contender and other like Handguns. Then I started reading here - HOOKED!
I also like all Cartridges - but some better than others, a personal choice for each of us ( Select fit for shooter and situations ).
Something very new to me as I read and read, eyeballs strained for days - LOL. So many great Post ...... then a lot of information from XP-HUNTER. I'm in the process of purchasing an ENCORE for my son that we will both shoot until I can afford another ( Grandson will shoot as well ).
The first barrel will be 16" in 6mm Winchester .243, the basic .308 Winchester Case, excellent accuracy, flat shooter, bucks wind, and delivers energy to distant targets. Flexibility, long range target, varmint, deer size game out to 200 yds - easy to shoot well because of low recoil. There are many cartridges that perform the same, .243 is just an old favorite of mine - along with a few other cartridges - but I like them all.
My experience is mostly rifles, but reading here is about to send me into a new adventure - I understand and already feel the addiction so often mentioned in the post - I think I want to thank everyone - LOL.
Has anyone shot the .243 out of a 16" or so barrel ?
Is .243 a flame thrower out of that length barrel ( Excess powder used for lighting )?
