[QUOTE="SteveBurton, post: 2733459, member: 59541"] Looking at what you have to work with and the intended purpose, I would suggest the 6.5 SS. I have several 6.5 caliber rifles and if I had to do it over, I would go with the Sherman Short. It's built for loading longer bullets in a true short action, has head stamped brass and lots of bullets to choose from. If not a 6.5, the 7SS would be my next suggestion. Again, built for a short action, brass and lots of bullets to choose from. Nothing wrong with the .277 calibers but bullet selection is not as great. I don't see it ever taking off like it's little or bigger brothers. If you need factory ammo, go with the 6.5 PRC and be done. [/QUOTE]
