Thanks Z! TheFed.243 100gr"Sierra Game King", Fed. 140gr "Soft Point"and Norma 156gr "Alaska" 6.5mmSwede in Ruger M77is all I need for Hogs and Deer! I sold my Ruger .270 5yrs ago.

I still grab the .30-30 also!

Wazzup Im 15 and I havent used either I have used a 25-06 and its great. I have killed 6 deer 2 hogs and 1 goat and its a great gun. But now i use a .300 with a bullistec tip or a 7mmm Rem. Mag with boat tail hollow point.If you can handle .300 use it or 7mm,out of your 2 choices: .270, 243 is probably tooo small for you

Dont you mean its all you need for chucks, yotes, antelope, deer, hogs, elk, bear, moose.

Yep!Didn't want to start any arguments!

I shot a 270 and i am 16. But i think a 243 wold be better for you.

hey man well im just goin to say im 15 now i started hunting when i was 11. ive own a 7mm08 it a wonderful catridge for a kid. i love mine. i shot my first deer though with a 270 which is a great caliber too. between the two i would get a 270. to me a 270 is way better than a 243. 243s are slower shot with more arch and not as powerful. i would go for a 270 anyday. if u dont think u can haandle the recoil of a 270 a 7mm08 is good but the bullets are kinda hard to find. my advice as a fellow young hunter pf the two get a 270. hope this is of help. and ive killed nine deer and 6 of them were a 7mm08 kill they all dropped in there tracks its a good gun the i shot one with a 270 dropped in its tracks. their good guns.
