Howdy back at ya... :D

Both would work rather well for varmints and yotes...with my choice going to the 25-06...I just posted to another thread about it...so you can check that out...that 25-06 will do the job for you...

Welcome! The 223 work well out to about 250 Yards. Ammo is cheap and there is a wide variety.
Shoot straight , shoot often.

Welcome aboard!! :D  Neither the .243 or the .25-06 is gonna be fur friendly if you have intentions of cashing them in.....If you just want to pop em, I'd go with the .25-06, much better deer caliber. :wink:
