Had a 7mm-08. Nothing real impressive but it worked and I think I actually preferred it over the 308. The 243 is a good round up to and including deer, most people probably have some sorta experience with the round but I doubt too many are overly impressed, maybe have some sort of sentimental attachment to the round (nothing wrong with that at all). I’ve usually seen those 2 for around $28-30 a box.
25-06 would be my choice for sure- maybe just because of my bias towards the 270. Plus I see it’s ammo listed $21-25 most of the time. But really what good is it unless you just want an excuse to buy another rifle? 22-250 is good from prairie dogs up to deer. The 30-06 is good for deer up through bears and the big deer species.
