[QUOTE="Dutch Jennings, post: 2337668, member: 110369"] I'm kind of in the same boat as you. I have a .243 that I'm in the process of re-barreling to .308 because it did not perform as well as I would like on a doe I shot last season. Don't get me wrong, the .243 is an enjoyable cartridge to shoot but even for a cartridge under 300 yards I prefer one that will kill quickly with authority and not just adequately. I will stick with 30-06, .270 and .308, but the one I'm taking to the woods for whitetails tomorrow and most days is the .270. Nobody can go wrong with any of those in my opinion and if needed recoil is easily managed by using say a 125 or 130 grain bullet vs. 150 or higher. [/QUOTE]
