I am sure the .243 has enough energy with 85-100 grain bullets.
Which is something that MUST change! I am even willing to settle...I'll take a .260Rem., 6.5mmCreedmoor, 6.5x55mmSwede, and heck I'll even settle for the 6.5x47mmLapua (though it would probably see a reamer shortly thereafter). Do we see a pattern here?...6.5mm is the goldilocks cal. for a moderate case size IMO.Because you can't get a Win 70 featherweight in .260.

.25-06 is seriously overbore
I have kicked around .308, one of my first choices, but the lightest factory ammo I see on the shelf is 150 grains. Overkill for sure, with unnecessary recoil.
I don't see how you can consider the .308 with a 150 grain bullets overkill and they don't recoil that bad either. Ammo can be found in just about any place that carries ammo.
I don't think the 25-06 is that badly over-bored, actually a nice combo for the .25 caliber.
