I would choose a .243 win or 25-06 not any of the wssm. They cost more to shoot and ammo selection is limited in choice and where you can find it.

RE: choosing a rifle
I like the WSM cartridges for the simple fact of the short fat bullet.. To me they don't make to much sense when comparing them to the 243 which is already a short cartridge.. Ido like the 270 WSM as a good alternative to the 270. But for the variety of game your talking about the 243 gets my vote because of the large selection of bullet choices..
