[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1336274, member: 78569"] If you are looking for cost effective, the 6.5-06 is the route to go especially if you already own the dies. I really don't seen any use in having to guns that are the same cartridge in the closet so I would got some other route than a 6.5-06. If you are speed freak, go with the SAUM or WSM. If you don't need top speed, then the 6.5x284 is probably the best option other than a 6.5 Creedmoor which on long action wouldn't be worth the effort. Bolt heads are cheap so don't be afraid of swapping a standard head for a magnum head. You can even put a long baffle on the bolt to make it more like a short action for the short mags. Most of these are so similar I would advice going with what you really want or just whatever's most convenient. Don't sweat the small stuff. [/QUOTE]
