I think my 243 with 20inch barrel and suppressor is undergunned for a big canty red in the 300m range. Some keyboard jockey on here told me that I needed a 7mm08 instead of a 270. But a SPSS 700 fell in my lap for less than $900 and my other 2 hunting buddies use 270.
I'm keeping the 243 for everything below big red, and the 270 for larger or longer requirements on big animals.
