[QUOTE="MajorSpittle, post: 1952076, member: 53101"] Quick answer to your question is 300 WSM. If it were my rifle: I would put a real good muzzle brake/compensator on it ( like a clamp on from witt machine if it is not threaded ) and then see how it shoots. Magnum light weight rifles can **** all over themselves due to recoil and once you dampen that recoil you might find it shoots good. If it doesn't shorten the barrel to have a compact feather weight 270 WSM ( may shoot better after being cut ) Then if I still didn't like the way it shoots I would just hold on to it until someone makes a 7mm PRC and then rebarrel it. If I didn't want to wait I would rebarrel to a 7 WSM, 300 PRC, or a 300 WSM. Can't go wrong with any of those cartridges other then they will beat the hell out of you on a feather weight rifle and you will wish you just got another 270 WSM or 6.5 PRC barrel for it. That or put standard barrel that's threaded on it so it is heavier or can have a muzzle brake installed. [/QUOTE]
