[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1889022, member: 113501"] For 2-300 yards and working out of a short barrel, 6.8 SPC II might be something to look at if you can get that bolt face. I have box ammo loaded with Barnes solids and that stuff works. I don't know anything about 6XC but I imagine boxed hunting ammo is harder to find. If you have to go with a standard bolt face, 308 isn't exotic but it will fit, you can get box ammo with non lead bullets and 308 will let you expand the range a bit. The only reason against it might be bullet cost if you are reloading but I haven't priced 6mm vs 6.8mm vs 308 Barnes bullets. 7mm08 might be very good too. I know 308 is a pretty good short barrel option but if you reduce the bore you might end up essentially wasting powder. [/QUOTE]
