[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1660839, member: 38048"] Sounds like the 300 wsm would work well for you. I shoot one in my 1000 yard gun for compatition. If you use h4350 powder about 61 gr with a 210 if is very accurate and would work well from a shorter barrel. My comp gun has a 32 inch barrel and my hunting rifle has a 24 inch barrel and there is not much speed lost in that 24 incher. The 280ai is probably the single most versatile cartridge there is. I built 5 of these already and all shoot very nice. A 180 hybrid will hit almost as hard as a 210vld at 600 yards. The 280ai kicks considerably less in a light hunting rifle. Remember hits like a truck sucks if shot placement is poor. I'm doing more and more 6.5 creeds now. I use one in light gun at 1000 yards. It still has over 1200 pounds of energy at 700 yards. Out to 600 you really don't need to be picky there are tons of great new and old that can get it done with ease. Shep [/QUOTE]
