If your going to get into reloading and want to keep it simple  , Reloader #7  and IMR3031 are two very good powder choices that can be used in both the 45-70 and the 223 with excellent results.

45-70 hands down. Everyone needs at least two 45-70's-----it's kind of a rule. I know because I only have one and I am itching to get a second!!!!!!!

The .243 ain't fur friendly in the least tho, and forget about seeing impacts, let alone using almost twice as much powder. :'( :o Course, if you don't care about the fur or seeing red mist....

I wouldn't mind seeing the impact and red mist and then see them drop. ;D

All things considered and if you don't reload then the 223 is the best choice IMO. Ammo is everywhere, its cheap, and out to 300 yards it tough to beat.
