My research is stearing me towards the .243 for all round small caliber preditor/varmint gun.
Any arguments?
I don't roll my own. In a gunI'm looking for lighter recoil so I will shoot more often, a caliber which is legal to take (small) big game (.23 minimum in Wyoming), with ample variety of inexpensive ammo readily available.

Whaddayathink?

Specifically, a Remington 700 ADL in synth. and matte.
