I am looking to purchase a new rifle, I just keep talking myself out of what caliber to purchase. I have an 06 for larger game, and several 22's for plinking etc. I was looking at a .243, but am wondering if I should go .270. I like the balistics of these calibers and variety of ammo available. But, I suppose I want one gun to do everything. I now reside in Arizona, and I am wondering which would be a better choice for javelina's, and varmit or other hunting in the state. I may go antelope or deer hunting out of state also. Would it be better to go .270 and purchase lighter loads for smaller game? Or go with the .243, then just utilize my 06 for larger game? Also, for javelinas in Arizona, what do most hunters use? I have a .357, and I was going to try my luck with the next handgun hunt. thanks
