If I am unable to find a standard bolt for my gun, which 6.5 round would be best for barrel longevity, brass life, accuracy, lighter recoil etc? Will be a target gun, #17 contour, 28".
Thanks.

I asume both of your Savages are long action. My guess is that any short action will eject the 6.5 wssm.+2 on the 6.5 wssm. I've got 2 one on a push feed action and one on a controlled feed action, both Savages. The controlled feed ejects just fine the push feed will not eject at all, just drops the empty on the follower. That little case is just a tad to short for the extractor claw to hang on to long enough to clear the ejection port, misses by less than 1/4 inch.
Both are plenty accurate and brass life hasn't been a problem at all. Can't help with barrel life yet, just not enough rounds fired yet.

I think your not going to have any trouble finding a "standard" bolt face at all and if thats the case
I would have to recommend a 6.5x284
Excellent bullet choices
High BC's
High Sectional Density
Excellent Brass (Lapua)
Low recoil
And No fire forming to make a "AI" version
How can you have an "AI" case and not have to FF your brass??? The only way to have an improved case is to FF your brass in some way. Unless you can buy the brass pre-formed like Kirby sells.
That's exactly what I mean ... if you re-read what I said you do not have to fire form a 6.5x284 like you would have to to with most any "AI" type of case
which as you know takes up barrel life,time,money, and so on...
