[QUOTE="rangerdanger, post: 1286261, member: 91222"] [b]Re: Most accurate, smoothest cycling, short, deer cartridge[/b] I'll check out the 7mm-08 as it sounds like exactly what I need. I wasn't even considering it until you mentioned it because i don't see it as a common offering on many of the custom hunting or target rifle builders web sites. I usually see the 6.5 lapua or creed or other short 6's or 6.5's. I'll also check out the barrel you talked about but I'd like to take it down to 16 inches unless not recommended for the 7-08. I'd also like to know more about appropriate caliber selection for a straight 16 inch barrel on bolt guns. Some say I should choose 30 or better. That's why I was leaning toward the 308 for cycling, accuracy, and performance. [/QUOTE]
