Default Georgia whitetails

I'm on the verge of buying a new gun. I want a remington 700 adl for the most part but will change if the caliber dictates it. What caliber should I get? I'm joining the USAF soon so I'll get to hunt new and exciting places. I was thinking of a 7mm mag or a 30-06, the question is can I handle the 7mag as well as I could handle a 06? I'm not a large framed person so I was thinking I might be more accurate with the 06. But then again, what if I could shoot the 7mag good? I have no one I could barrow a 7mag from to shoot it once or twice to see how bad it is compaired to the 06. Other than those two, I was thinking of screwing the whole magnum thing ang getting a 243. What is the effective range on a 243? Is it worth the money? I have a real crappy 30-06 at the moment. Is the kick from a 7mag about the same as a 06 with 180 grain bullets? hmmm. So many questions so little money. I wish I could just buy them all and just keep all the ones I liked . I hunt mainly Georgia.
