Aw heck,, go with a 300 Win. Mag., then there will be NO question about its knock down power when it comes to Jack Rabbits[laugh]. Its what I use!
Seriously though.. A good all around pea shooter would be a .243.
I own both the 300 Mag and a 243. Over my many years of Elk & Deer huntin' I've tipped just as many Elk over with the 243 as I have the Mag. Although, while the 243 is in hand I do try for head/neck shots far more often than with the mag.. I truly suggest a 243..
