For the most part, to be brutal about it, the two of them are only slightly ahead of a 243...There is not much in NZ that 30cal can take that a 243 cannot....

perhaps looking to something slightly bigger again such as a 300winmag etc?.

Have a look at the energy numbers you will find there is a world of difference between a 243 and 30/06 . The 243 is a lot closer to the 223 in performance, yes still both capable rounds but shouldn't be compared to the ought six. I can tell you this from real world experience as well as knowing the numbers.
