[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 3506562, member: 27991"] IMHO, not that much difference in any caliber from .243 up to the .300WM. Any of the cartridges based on .30-06 or belted mag brass will be comparable. Bullet weight and powder capacity will vary, trajectory and recoil will be the deciding factor. Having a .300WM, I see no reason in having another belted mag, though I carried a 7mmRemMag for 25 years. The 6.5, covers the .243-.308 short action class. But moving to a bolt action, from AR platform, is your opportunity. I have a .260Rem and it does most everything the 7Mag done, with less powder and recoil. A .25-06 would be an possible choice, 7x57 is an outstanding option, as is the .257Roberts and 7-08. The "short magnums offer some non-traditional opportunities, but limited availability. To throw another wrench into your gearbox, instead of bolt action, a single shot ( Ruger #1) would be a option? [/QUOTE]
