[Smitty18]

You have to experiment. Every gun likes a certain type of ammo better than others. By the way, how far is "longer"?

[rifleman22]

200+ yards

Hunterd22,
Ya'll must be from out west. Cant really help you much for that distance, NW PA is pretty heavily forested and i dont do much shooting across fields.

[rifleman22]

I live in Kansas. What caliber would u suggest??

[Smitty18]

What are you hunting?

[30-CAL]

Thats a pretty hard one to answer, I have been reloading for around 10 yrs and most rifles shoot different bullet, powder and charge weights different. You will have to do some experimenting like Smitty said. Buy a reloading manual and read up.

[rifleman22]

Where would get a reloading manual?? Which ones do
You have if u hav any?? Do I need multiple??

[Smitty18]

You can get reloading manuals from just about any gun shop and from gander mountain. Also try ammo makers, I do know that hornady offers all sorts of information regarding reloading.
Have Fun,

I think there are a couple of variables that have to be ironed out here. For instance: What (game) are you shooting? How sensitive are you to recoil? and What is your price-range for a rifle and scope set-up? There are many rifles, cartridges, and bullets that are capable of excellent long-range shooting. If you can answer those three questions, then we'll be on our way to narrowing down a good combination for you.

Well Idc bout recoil. And I want a lower caliber rifle. Cause I already hav a .30-06. So now I'm looking 4 a varmint gun. Preferably under $700

[Smitty18]

I recommend getting a .22-250. Destroys whistlepigs and crumples song dogs.

[rifleman22]

Yah I'm thinking bout a .204 ruger, .223 WSSM, .22-250, or a .223 rem

[30-CAL]

You cant go wrong with a 22-250 or a 223 the 204 is ok but the bullets are to light for me. Any major bullet manufacture for a reloading manual. Try cabelas or your local gun shop that sells reloading equipment. Look on line on Amazon books for reloading manuals. I have a few different ones, Barnes, Nosler, Speer, and Hornady they all have a wealth of info in them.

[rifleman22]

Will the .223 rem be much different from the .223 WSSM??
