    If you want short bbl bush pig, then 308. If you want to reach out longer range then 3006 and don't chop the bbl.

    If you are reloading, I'd go 30-06 Would give you a nice heavy hitter, compared to the 243. Very versatile caliber that shoots a massive range of projectile weights comfortably. I'd also leave...
