Find a bullet you want to shoot first thats different than what you already shoot, then look at what cases would push it

I have a bunch of varmint calibers too, the swift is one of my favorites. I recently had a 22BR made to shoot 55s. Its been fun. Brass is easy, neck it down, load and shoot.

Other 22x47, 20VT

I like the idea of a 30BR for close calling, I imagine the thump on a coyote shoulder bone would be a sweet sound in the morning! Let's us know what you choose.

Dasher.

I too have been thinking of the 30br for coyote gun or a groundhog carry gun. A 110 vmax might good.

How about a .22 Dasher? You could use the 75gr A-Max and I bet you would get 3200+... I never owned one but thought about it with 90gr VLD's for 600 yard F-Class!

With all of the recent threads and positive feedback, you may want to consider the 6BRA (2nd from left):

 

[Hal]

Bullets with higher B.C. #'s come into their own out past 400 yds.
Past 400 yds go with a fast twist barrel and long bullets.
Try the 6BR-AI. low recoil and good barrel life.

 

[22DASHER]

6BRA, 6 Dasher, or 6x47L. If you want a repeater I would do the 6x47L. If single shot then I would lean more towards the BRA or Dasher case. Less powder, more efficient, the best case life, pure accuracy, etc. I have been down the 22 Dasher road for a varmint rifle and prefer the 6mm because the throat moves very quickly on the 22 and found it to be a little more touchy. Overall not a major deal but you need to pay more attention to it. If you want simplicity then do a 6BRA.

6mm-284, that should get the 110 sierra humming right along.

6mm BR.
7mm -30-06

6BR 12 tw use 70gr Sierra Blitzkings. I have one shot kills on groundhogs out to 700 yds. The 12 tw will shoot the 87gr vmax. The 6BR can't be matched for accuracy.
