I'm wanting to purchase a new rifle and have narrowed down the calibers im interested in to the 22-250, the 243, or 6.5 creedmoor. It will be for hunting small to medium sized game at distances of no more tha 300 yards. Which would you choose and what manufacturer. Need price to stay under $800
 
I would look at the 243 just for ammo cost/availability. You might also look at the 7mm-08. This is just another of the 308 variants like the 243 is. 243 also has very light recoil if that matters. 22-250 I would think is going to be on light side once you get to deer sized game. Also, if you are hunting in GA, 300 yards is a LONG WAYS unless you are hunting big fields. Most of the shots I have ever taken are under 60 yards and about anything will work at that range with proper shot placement.
