    Run the numbers. The energy difference between 243 and 708 is huge. Yes a 270will drop any thing but used properly so will a 243. Ive owned 2x270s and imo the boot and bang you get for performance you may aswell go to 7mm mag a small step up in recoil for massive ballistic gains. And off the top of my head i think the numbers on the 7mm08 arent to far off the 270 anyway. If your heart is set on one 24 inch is optimum and 20inches i would consider minimum.
