[QUOTE="Coyote_Hunter, post: 1746046, member: 110773"] .264 WM for me - better bullet selection. Currently have a Savage 111 7mm RM with a rusty/pitted barrel, bought used for the action and stock. Was planning a 6.5PRC (and may still go that way) but have been looking more and more at the .264WM. Not particularly interested in the 26/27/28 Nosler as they burn too much powder for what i want. When I built my 6.5-06AI I was interested to discover that the .257 WBY shoots really flat out to around 700 yards - compares very well with the 7mm RM and .300RM and the bullets/loads I checked. Don't recall what the energy leves were at that range. Went with the 6.5-06AI in part because I had a standard (.473") bolt face to work with and could form cheap brass using .25-06, .270, .280 or .30-06. Went with .25-06 because all it takes is a simple run through the sizing die. [/QUOTE]
