[QUOTE="mmgravy, post: 1718512, member: 60615"] As I read through the various responses after reading your criteria using your existing stock, action, etc, and not evidently wanting to go to the logical .25-06 as many have suggested with the long 700 action, the two best cartridges to look at are the 6.5x55 Swede or the 7x57. If you want a 6.5, then the Swede would be my suggestion. If you want a .284, the 7x57 would be the one to look at. Look at these two cartridges, take your criteria and you will see why these two cartridges just might be the best choices for you. The one thing to remember if you are going to put a new barrel on using these cartridges is to make sure you have enough twist. A 7.5 would be as slow as you should go and faster might be even better. [/QUOTE]
