[QUOTE="clintbailey, post: 2352640, member: 8544"] I voted for the 6.5-06, since I have one and like it. I run the 123 gr Amax's in mine, and it shoots pretty good; I've killed one deer with it so far (this is only second season I've had it), and it dropped him in his tracks. That being said, I would also say that a .260 Rem is probably slightly better than this caliber, and although you have a long action, I bet it might work with a short action case just fine. I also have a 22-243 built on a Win Model 70 action, its a 243 case in a long action gun, and it shoots awesome. Might also help if you wanted to run some longer bullets. If you stay with a long action round, I would say 6.5-06, 6-06, then maybe the 257 Roberts in that order. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
