Leaning towards another 270, but Stainless/Synthetic this time for abuse factor. No real need for a 243 since vermin are covered by the 223. Everything deer looking will get it from the 270. Any chance for Elk would be met with the 06, although my bud swears by a 270. I guess I'd rather be redundant in caliber then performance. Looks like Hornady makes a 270 load just about equal to 270WSM so no chance for a short mag......and I ain't interested in reloading (let's not go there again)
