Versatile 223/243 cartridge options.

[Aussie Dan]

Hi all, as the title suggests, what recs do you have for a versatile .223 or .243 calibre that fits and feeds in a tikka with a common bolt face.
Would like decent barrel life, factory ammo available. although I can reload when time allows)

This would be for pigs, goats, small deer at no more than 250yds and messing around at the range out to 500yds.
My 5'3 85lb daughter would probably shoot this rifle very occasionally too so prefer minimal recoil)

22/6 creed? (Need to rebarrel $$$/no 22 creed ammo in oz yet))
22/6arc? (Weird bolt face )
223 rem/243 win? (Easiest and cheapest)

If it makes a difference i have a bergara hmr wilderness in 6.5 creed, a t3x polyfade in 308, either of which will likely end up as a 6 creed as i bought 2k 108 eldms on sale recently.
Im guessing Rokslide will say sell the bergara and get another tikka in 223 because its easiest, actually fills a gap in my cartridge options and everyone needs one, but figured I may be missing some other options.

Cheers in advance

Suppressors are an absolute no-go for hunters here in Australia.
If i get a culling contract through my business, which im working on thats a different story.

I also realise that I kind of answered my own question

223 or 243 are perfect for your needs. No need to sell your rifle if it shoots good.

That's surprising to me, I thought suppressors were very common down there. Is it just NZ?

Admittedly I'm an ignorant American when it comes to other countries hunting regs.

Its just NZ, they view them as safety equipment our government sees them as a device that will make everyone into James bond or some such BS.
The UK can buy them over the counter at the gun shop too. Super weird.
