If you will be doing alot of towing I would go with the diesel. I had the 6.2 in a Raptor it was a good engine and always got 14-15 mpg and I was very heavy on the pedal. I would get 16-17 on a trip where I could use the cruise and not race every single person on the road. Pulled really good also.
The best thing that works for me in that situation is to move in closer if you can. Had a group howling back a few years ago and I snuck in close and got 3.
Just a side note also I am thinking of a 243wssm but not sure if it will work with a Remington action, also I think they can be a pain in the but to reload from what I have heard. SDMF I'll check into a few different 257 loads, thanks
I'm trying for a load that is in a 12 inch drop range for the longest distance. 2 inches high at the most and down to -10" whatever load out of any gun that I can find that is the best at that. That's what I want. A 55g going 4200 has a 7 inch drop @400 yards with a 280 yard zero. 280 yard...
140g partition bullets with reloader 22 I can't remember the exact load. This is a real deer thumper on bigger deer it's almost always a instant kill (straight down). Between my dad and I we have killed over 60 deer with it and have yet to loose one. Flat shooting also at 2 inch zero at 100 you...
