243 between these two choices.I took a 3 year old spike the first week of this season with my daughters Rem 600 243 with 90grn corelocts.He went about 50yds luckily cause 50 more and he would have been in the middle of a thicket.This is the fourth straight year I have taken a deer with her rifle.It is the Mohawk and there is no better for carrying in the woods for me.For longer range hunting I use my 30-06.I would concider a 270 if I were you and your large enough to shoot one comfortably.Little more velocity and knockdown power.Good luck either way.
