Obviously, mainstays like the .30-30 have proved their mettle for eons and still have great followings back East. Here in the West it seems you're a pussy (and amateur) if you don't have a mag for those long and 'less than ideal' shot placements (snork).
In my mind, I'm kind of thinking the .243 might win this one. Many consider it more than you need for varmints and predators and certainly not enough for, God Forbid!, elk.
But it certainly can do it all with aplomb (read: accuracy, low recoil, trajectory, drift, etc).it sure seems to be the little cartridge that could and even among self described 'loonies' on this site doesn't seem to garner the respect it deserves.

Would have been easier if you'd asked... "What's your choice....blondes, brunettes, or redheads??"
on that is simple...
1. Redheads ( if one of the few good looking ones red hair grows on...
