Best egg shoot round? .204, .223, 243, or .308

Question

Egg shot some people may know its 200, 300, and 500 yards. Bullet group dosent matter very much, just contant accuracy, and wind drifts.

This rifle would be a savage model 12 varmint, and yes yes ofcourse save alot of money on glass. I know the 6mmbr and 6mm dasher and all those are popular but I want a round that I can find at the local gun shop. Every once and a while I may take a coyote or deer. The deer would be only head shot (does) just for the meat. The bullet of choice would problaly be hornady and the heavy side with a high BC for the wind

I have no promblem reloading and would like to get into it but, I'd just like to be able to shoot for a while before I have to. One of my close friends reloads .204 and .243 so that is an option

Answer 1

G'Day mate i would go 4 the .308 but only if yr going to hunt a lot of deer,but if yr not going to hunt a lot of deer i would go the 243 but i wouldn't go smaller than the .223.I must admit i have shot big boars here in Australia with a .223 with Remington core lokt in a 150 gr head shot's only and i never had to put a second round in them.I also have a .308 in a savage leaver action but that stops everything..cheers mate
