    It also has the short powder column accuracy over the old 6mm.
    About 40 years back I had a buddy with a Rem788 (the short bbl version) chambered in 243Win. We killed tons of woodchucks and coyotes with that gun. When he deployed he would leave the gun with me,when I deployed I would leave the gun with him. This chambering,and gun,was some of my first reloading expierances.
    At one time or another,I have owned about 6 or 7 243's. My most accurate was a Ruger#1V. --- SAWMAN
    I have a rem 788 in 22-250 and damn that thing stacks 55 gr nosler bt. One of those rifles they quit making because it hurt the sales of the 700. Very accurate rifles.

    I've got a howa in a 22-250 that I prepped brass same time as my .243. About to load up some z max and or v max. It's a straight shooter.

    They are fun to load for. Little rockets. I have an abundance of the 55 gr nosler BT factory seconds and they shoot very well out that old 788. H380 I's the powder I'm using for it.
