I would always gravitate to the .308.
One of my PRIME considerations in ANY gun (rifle, handgun, shotgun) is
............availability of ammo.
I can vividly remember as a kid running out of 16 gauge shells during dove season. And that was in the days when 16's were the "holy grail" of dumb teenagers wanting a huntin' gun.
My son-in-law just bought a 300 Winchester Short Magnum.
I guess it's a fine gun, but I wouldn't want to be scouring small towns for a box of ammo.
I've never seen the advantage (other than in gun magazines) of cartridges that do anything a standard tried n true caliber won't handle.
