308

Out to 500 yards, the .243 with 90-105 gr. bullets shoots flatter than the .308, making it more forgiving in errors of range estimation or atmospheric conditions that affect trajectory.

The .243 is a very popular round, with ammo available everywhere in many bullet types and degrees of quality. You can get premium ammo for the .243 for two bucks a shot, or you can get plain soft points for 70 cents on sale.

TOSS IN the advantage of less recoil in a light weight hunting rifle, and I saw the .243 is the best overall round for most "big game" and hog hunting in the South.

But... I'd get a .308 if I thought that I might one day hunt bigger game in other parts of the country, or up in Canada.

for hunting ill stick with the good ole .308

That's what I've always hunted with.......regardless of how many legs the quarry had.

308, since 270 is not an option

I already have my 308 so I would be very interested in this if I were buying today...

 

[Radar363]

I voted. 308 for it's versatility....and tacos wasn't an option.

If you like the .270, why don't you choose the 7mm-08?
There's no real performance difference between them.

Or the 270 WSM. It's a 270 on steroids and short action.
