243ack Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 OK folks. Just acquired a lefty 243 Remmy and fancy having something stupid built to go with my 22-250, 6.5x284, 7mmWSM etc. So, must fit SA Remmy, preferably near to .243 bolt face and stupidly fast and accurate!. Barel life and other negatives do not apply!. (Except someone must have the reamer - or be available from US without too long a wait). Am thinking 20 or 22 cal, but lets see what you can come up with!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiff Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 22-243 Middlestead or similar spec. wildcat would be a fun choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyw Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 as a lefty you really shouldnt be allowed a firearm. i would go 22-47 -6.5x47 necked down bags of speed no recoil to worry about should do you - just buy 3 barrels though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 .22-284. Wont extract a live round in s/a , but what the hell. A real bad MOFO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
243ack Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Like it folks!! Keep 'em coming!. Short barrel preferred. Can't be doing with those 26" flagpoles. Want to shoot foxes, not poke 'em up the 'arris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro6.5 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 20x47 lapua shooting 55grainers!! I'm getting just over 4000fps or drop down to 50 grains and go even faster!! I've had a few fast cals and its the most fun I've had. it's very fast, holds the wind well, accurate over distance ( used in 1000yard comps in usa) and crucifies foxes and varmints! I wouldn't be without one. Although I would like to try a 22-284 shooting 75g amax! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henryo Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 .20-250 maybe? http://www.rmvh.com/20-250%20-%20Load%20Work.htm Just use the redding dies with smaller bushings. Should feed well too. .20 BR looks very nice but perhaps not enough insanity for your purposes ? All the best Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17 Rem Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 20-250 looking good!. Dasherman has the reamer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 A major stumbling block in your last post. All these exotics need long barrels to attain their performance. In a shorter barrelled gun you need to be looking at the Br variants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a shorter barrelled gun you need to be looking at the Br variants. I concur. 25-3000 Would this be deer legal too with the right bullet? Dies and everything are there. I'm assuming you can just run an expander or two through .22-250 lapua? .220 Swift? With a fast twist (7" or 8") it would make a pretty good long range cartridge.
