[QUOTE="Mike D Texas, post: 2942812, member: 71221"] Your only real option IMO is the 7 SAUM or 6.5 SAUM. All other cartridges are a compromise. [LIST] [*]6.5 PRC - Not ideal in a true short action. [*]300 WSM - Good brass available when it's run but truly limited to ADG for premium brass option and still not ideal as a true short action. [*]300 SAUM - Good in a short action but no premium brass supported with proper headstamp (I neck up 7 SAUM). [*]6.8 Western - No premium brass options, I don't see this cartridge having staying power. Limited high BC bullet options. [*]7SS/SST - Boutique/enthusiast cartridge, limited brass & die option (only 1 source for each) and potentially overstated performance. [/LIST] I don't know of any short action magnums with brass support by Lapua or Alpha. [/QUOTE]
