[QUOTE="RMorris, post: 2092095, member: 107516"] The ballistics of many of these calibers will do what you need. You should consider the logistics of them. Do you want to be forced to reload? I know I reload, but I like to have options. I have also found that I can’t often match the best of factory loads with my hand loads. There is a learning curve to reloading and I would not want to cut my teeth on something too exotic. Having a factory option for good ammo might be nice (during normal times). Having good factory brass from multiple sources is also a good plan. I’d look at short magnum ammo available from several sources along with several premium brass makers supplying brass. Lapua as well as several domestic premium makers are making 6.5 prc. .270, 7mm, 300 WSMs are pretty widely available. [/QUOTE]
