For target / Field Class Centerfire, What is the more effective / accurate round?
.223 and .308 are the 2 I’m looking at, other less common rounds in aussie are twice the price here, so It’s really these 2. (unless I can reload them cheap)
Ranges will be from 100 yards to 300 yards. (Probably 500+ but that’ll be for fun and can be neglected)
This will be standing, kneeling and prone, probably never bench.
Weight isn’t a problem, recoil (might be??)
I was hoping to keep it under $2000 Aussie, That’s about the Starting line for the steyr rifles. (Those pro varmint things)
one more thing, Only target will ever be paper, and could advice be given about twist rates? Is it a high twist rate (e.g. 1:9) for short ranged ammunition and 1:16 for long? Or the other way around?
Thanks.
