.22WMR.....too big for rabbits and grouse,too small for yotes beyond 100y,4x more $ to shot then .22lr....I just cant justify any niche it fills or anything it does better then any .22 rimfire or centerfire?
.410 is another that I just can't get behind.Had one briefly,have hunted a bit with a cpl others...lots of poor results in my experience.
Never thought I'd ever buy a .243 neither.as I've always thought of it as a bit heavy for yotes and a bit light for my liking for bigger game.....but I bought one for my 13yo son's first rifle last fall and am now "intrigued" with it I guess you could say?Might also have a bit to do with my NB upbringing,with caliber restriction of <.23 for 10 months of the year.....pretty much useless as a coyote rifle and not my first choice nor even top 10 for deer/moose.........243s are unicorns in NB.
