DF If the person is a hand loader I would suggest the 25-08 over the 243 because of the heavier bullets that can be used.. there is a never ending supply of brass by necking up or down you can get there. Just my take on an all around cartridge.. Cheers NC But what do I know???

don't judge until you have walked a mile in other persons' moccasins'
