One little thing, it's easier to find ammo for the .308.
Really? I've NEVER been to ANY store that sells ammo that didn't have .243. Might be true outside the U.S., but here in the states, doubt it....
As to the original question, depends on what I'd be hunting. Whitetails and smaller, .243. Whitetails and larger, .308.
