Default Picking a new caliber

I just purchased a new Savage 93FVSS 22mag (which I have yet to shoot) but I am thinking ahead to my next gun. I own a H&R single shot .308 which I use for white tail hunting but i would like a caliber between a .308 and the .22. I was going to buy a .223 because the ammo is relativly cheep and abundant but it seems as though it is too close to .22 for me to bother. What caliber would you buy to fit in between these cartridges? I would be using it for alot for shooting comps and target practice, not necessarily hunting.

I know a .22 mag and a .223 are quite different as far as ballistics go but what caliber would you buy if you had to pick one for all around performance?

.243?


.270?

And yes I would reload what ever cartridge I deceided on.
