My current situation finds me with a defiance anti-x XM action and a blank canvas. I have been trying to think of what caliber to build and I've been very limited to choices because I have not reloaded so now I think I am going to start purchasing all the equipment needed to do so. With the possibility of reloading in my future I am not limited to factory or custom ammo supported calibers any longer and cartridges like the 7SAUM, 7SS, 7WSM, 300SS etc are now available to my choices.
So the question I ask is this: if you could choose one caliber that fit in the medium action, had enough energy to take medium and large game at long range (750-1000+), did not need anything longer than a 24" barrel, had manageable recoil with a brake or suppressor, and have a decent supply of components for reload - what would it be?

Basically I look at it as getting prepared to load later.
