Jimro--I do agree. And in fact would pick a 243 if buying a different hunting rifle at this time. Happen to have a 25-06 and 270. I have entertained the idea of buying another barrel for the Savage 12 I use for prairie dogs, only in 243, and getting a Boyds Stock for it to use for game hunting. I re-barreled that Savage a couple months ago and have the tools, just need the new tube and the go/no-go gauge.

All of the above conversation was opinion.

243 Win for Prarie Dogs?

That's an interesting discussion on bullet options and twist rates right there.

After reading this entire thread I view the dialog as not too meaningful. More emphasis should be placed on the gun, not the cartridge. With either cartridge, if the gun is inaccurate or poorly fit to the shooter he will be dissatisfied. If the gun is accurate and a good fit to the shooter he will think he made the better choice for cartridge selection. Having owned both and hand-loaded for both I favor the 25-06.
