Meat damage will be about the same for all three. I shoot a .270 because it shoots a little flatter than the 30-06. My only concern about the 25-06 is ammo availability. Just about anywhere you go you can get .270 and 30-06 ammo. If they don't carry it at my local Wal-Mart, I am less likely to buy a gun that shoots it.

I'd pick either the .270 or the 30-06 as it's just super easy to find ammo for. Even little small town shops that just sell a few boxes of ammo often have a box of 30-06 or .270 ammo. If I wanted something smaller than one of those I'd go for a .243. The ammo is the main reason I'd chose on of those but you don't seem to be concerned since you said you will reload.

which of the 3 will cause less meat damage and all 3 should shoot flat enough to 300 yds
