.270 win is the easy button. Factory ammo is plentiful. Can shoot little light recoiling bullets up to 150+gr for elk. Accurate and easy to shoot.
Deer rifle build.

if this is true, 7mm-08. every store ive ever been to had 08 on the shelf
but lately i have always seen 6.5cm too. i dont think that is going anywhere.
now for reloading, the sky's the limit. but i think too, what if the kids grow up to just want to shoot and not reload and youre gone?
not to be morbid but i factor in the future on these thoughts, just my nature.
6.5X284 Norma may be what you seek. Great (and available) brass options, some factory load offerings, good powder flexibility, and kinda ooozes cool.

I love my 6.5 prc, 20" barrel with a suppressor is a joy to shoot. 125 hammer HHTs will destroy anything in its path less than 350 no problem

It's like nobody even reads the entire post anymore...the OP has a long action standard bolt face!
So save the Creed, PRC, 7/08, etc nonsense for other posts

At what point can you not run a short action cartridge in a long action rifle? All Tikka are long action with bolt stops, a Remington m24 in 308 is a long action. And like I stated I personally run a 6:05 PRC in a long action with no issues. So ask why is this nonsense?It's like nobody even reads the entire post anymore...the OP has a long action standard bolt face!

You can very easily run a 260ai, 7/08, creed, etc in a long action. The only nonsense is preaching you can't.It's like nobody even reads the entire post anymore...the OP has a long action standard bolt face!

Because 98% of people don't run a short action cartridge in a long action.
A 6.5 PRC is a mag bolt face, so again, nonsense.

Why would you want to? Those are designed for a short action and function 100% in a short action. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Because I can't fit 260 round in a SA mag loaded out to my spec reamer with 153.5gn Berger hybrids, maximizing my powder capacity in the case. I'd choose long action all day over short action for a number of cartridges.
Because 98% of people don't do something isn't nonsense that just means you follow the herd. Boat face are not doesn't make a difference. And I will say this the reason I run a long action with that 6.5 PRC is because I also run that same action with a different barrel in a 300 win mag. One action with options. The other reason is that 6.5 PRC when I load it in a short action I don't have the length in my magazine to seat out as far as I want. So what do you have to say about tikkas running nothing but long actions and the military haven't used the m24 chambered in 308 as a long action? My guess is you think that they're nonsense also

The OP wants to run factory ammo, so you "maximizing" your powder capacity is, once again, nonsense.
