At what point or should I say distance does the .243 out perform the .22-250?
I've learned that with the right circumstances I can get the 'yote around here to within 150yds...but no one aside from myself hunts them either...
So for that distance, my .22mag does the job...but I'm quite certain eventually I'll encounter a smart 'yote that won't break the 150 circle...

When that happens I want to be able to "broaden his horizons"
