For deer, I'd rather have a .243

For varmints, the .223WSSM is a .22-250 on steroids. Support for it is all but gone, so unless you reload and can buy 1000 cases so you have them, don't bother. Neat cartridge, I'd like to have one. Ultra-fast bullets, barrel burner in every sense of the word. 4,500fps would be easy with the right bullet and powder.

Don't bother for deer anyway, when you've already got a .243Win
