Hi looking for some advice really, Currently I have a .270 for deer and a 22-250 for foxing its also conditioned for Munty and CWD. The .270 is great for Fallow bucks and will be fine for Sika and Reds also the occasional wild boar. But to be honest its a bit harsh on Roe. Its not a problem and can live with it but I have an empty slot so was thinking of a variation for a 25-06 and the "good reason^ would be that the .270 is too harsh for roe. So please I don't want to get into discussions on the .270 and shot placement verses meat damage etc just some advice on an intermediate caliber. I used a 25-06 last weekend and found it nice to shoot so was thinking along those lines but my mate said why not 243? I don't home load but ammo cost isn't a great issue its not like I will chucking hundreds of rounds down a range. Any comments regarding good /bad points of this calibre will be gratefully received.
