[QUOTE="jbmarshtx, post: 1249773, member: 62639"] Of those three listed I would go with the 243. It kicks a less than the 7-08, especially if you shoot the less than 100gr bullets. I've shot both quite a bit, and the 243 has a good range of bullets that would be fine for targets, etc out to 300 yards. The longer 105/108 grains are good for longer shooting. Barrel life with the 243 will be lower though. A 260 or Creedmoor, or as someone suggested the 6.5 Grendel, might be 'better' choices. Hornady factory 6.5 creedmoor and 6.5 grendel ammo is relatively inexpensive. I have a grendel on an AR platform, and the ballistics are really nice...some have shot it out to 1,000 yards with no issue. Recoil is really mild. [/QUOTE]
