building a rifle--need calibre suggestions

[criticalbass]

I am going to change a Savage 110 to another calibre. Currently it's chambered in .270.

I haven't decided what barrel to put on, and do not have any specific mission for the gun.

This is more or less just a fun project. Currently I have rifles chambered in .375 H&H, .338-06, 30-06, 25-06, .243, .308, 7.62x39, .223, 7mm-08, 22-250, 7mm Rem mag, 6.5x55, so obviously I need another calibre to reload for.

Since my bolt face is the standard 30-06, I would like to stay with that. Small or large, hot or not, what would you suggest as an addition to my herd?

And, of course, does anyone have a spare Savage barrel in an interesting calibre they are interested in selling?

Something with Ackley in the name.

6.5creedmor? Easy to reload for, plentiful factory match grade ammo and excellent ballistics. It is my next custom build, and will probably the death of a couple of rifles in my stable.

Or .280 Ackley is a bad motor scooter!!

I don't see a .300 Win Mag in the mix... do a long range build

Or 6.5x55 if you don't want to add a caliber.
