My Buddy wants to get into varmint hunting, so I will get him started and take him along, he does not have much in varmint calibers ect. so his most reasonable way out I would think would be is rebarrel his heavy barrel 308 LE Savage rifle, I am trying to figure out caliber for long range, I was thinking of a heavy varmint contour 26" long in a 22-250 with an 8 or 9 twist for the 75-80 gr bullets, any thoughts on this caliber, or would a 243 be a better choice, he wants to be able to reach out around 700-800 yds.
thanks
