[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1356852, member: 27307"] matt_3479, My guess is that there have a couple of million words written on this very topic or the variations of it. But it can be overwhelming when confronted with all the potentially great cartridges available for your choosing. I know you listed what your intentions of use are but I suggest sitting down and writing out a detailed pro/con list given the parameters of how you intend to use the rifle. Any of the cartridges above will reach out and shoot small groups at 1,000 yards. Any of them will put coyotes and other small varmints in the weeds. They will all double in spades for a good deer rifle also. There just aren't any drawbacks, even brass when it comes right down to it. Good brass and other components are readily available for each cartridge. The biggest discussion might be from how much work you have to put into the brass for the cartridge chosen. If I was going to rate them, I would suggest the 6BR for sheer simplicity, accuracy and components. If I was looking for a challenge where brass manipulation was of no consequence, I might tell you to look at the 6mm SLR. Be aware that you could use a fireforming barrel for a couple of these... The good news is that you cannot go wrong with any of the cartridges mentioned. Please yourself and solve the problem of use. Regards. [/QUOTE]
