If so, do you have a favorite rifle or pet load you prefer?

I have a Cooper Model 92 with a 1 in 8 twist that loves the 105 grain Berger VLD's. Only drawback is the small tapered barrel gets warm quick so I haven't spent a lot of time trying other bullets.

Read good things about the Barnes TSX in this cartridge and was curious if anyone has run them in the 240?
 
I don't have one but I've always thought highly of Weatherby and would love to have one. I'm not a recoil fan and would probably lean to the .224 with the .240 being my second suspect.
 
I had a 1976 Ruger M77 in .25-06 and didn't like the recoil. I found this site and like the chart. I've arbitrarily decided my limit is .22-250 and below. I don't hunt. It would just be go to the range and challenge the targets. I'm kind of interested in the 6.5 Grendel although I have no clue why. And my number one suspect is the .22 Hornet. I just think it would be cool to have one.

I like that chart. Thanks for sharing. My guesstimator about the 240 being close to the 25-06 was pretty close.

The 22-250 is a great little cartridge. Comfortable to shoot. Its my go to for hogs and White Tail does when meat hunting.
