[QUOTE="Timnterra, post: 1556106, member: 55944"] Since you have a gap in cartridges between.308 and 6.5, and a standard long action, I’d choose either a straight 270 Winchester or a 280 ackley. Don’t mess with the Sherman stuff it’s not worth it for a short barreled truck gun. Especially since you are not experienced at Reloading and a set of dies will cost you as much as that rifle did. There are now more and better factory loads for the 280ackley than there are for the 280 Remington. And it is a favorite 7mm for a lot of people. The 270 is the king of factory loads and a fantastic all around cartridge. If you want to do some precision Reloading without the fire forming a straight 284 win will be cool too. In fact it will probably be the most efficient with a short 20” or so barrel. [/QUOTE]
