[QUOTE="FAL Shot, post: 577671, member: 27328"] The .30-06 is actually quite accurate, if the rifle and shooter are accurate. It may have too much recoil for some shooters, and that can cause accuracy problems. The .308 Win and .243 Win are the best choices from your list. The .308 Win is the most versatile if you can handle the recoil. The .243 Win is a top choice for smaller shooters that can't handle 7mm or .308 cal recoil. Mucho choices in factory ammo with those two. The 7mm-08 and 7x57mm were not mentioned by poster, but probably the most versatile deer/elk combo cartridges that are capable point-blank to 500 yards for both. The 7mm will have a better BC than .308 for the same bullet weight, also a better SD. Magnums are not a good choice for close range shots. [/QUOTE]
