by going 308, ammo is available everywhere and you can get different loads straight off the shelf.

I've never used a .308 or .243 but I'd tend to agree with this statement as I've got a 7mm-08 and whenever there was an ammo shortage I had a hard time finding much of a selection.

as with 243, a 7-08 is still a necked down 308 case. just like 270 is a necked down 30-06

Bear in mind that other things being equal women tend to be better shots than men.
