On the spectrum from 243 to 308, it must be much closer to the 308 than the 243, but it is still in between.

>243 is a great cartridge..... but not very forgiving with shot placement!
>308 with 165gr. bullets is a great cartridge as well but more recoil.
> 7mm08 will do it all with less recoil a 145gr. Speer or equivalent bullet will take mice to moose and beyond!
> 260 or 6.5x55 will do just as much as the 7mm-08 with a 140gr. bullet with less recoil, AND better ballistics...but harder to find ammo for (but getting easier all the time).
> FIT is first and foremost.....THEN choose the caliber/cartridge that you feel is the best choice for HER!
