All of those would work. I'm assuming A would be 308w, B would be a 30-06, and C 338-06? Looks like fairly mild loads for all of them. I'd run the 30-06 with 180's, if that is indeed B in your list. However, if you can stand 30-06 loaded with 200gr partitions, that would be my absolute pick. That bullet just plows stuff in the grand ol 06...
