[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 137677, member: 704"] I have a number of rifles to choose from when I walk to the safe. I like my 270 Winchester, 308 Winchester, 300 Win Mag, 300 WSM, 6.5X284, and my 6.5 Creedmoors. My longest shot on a 4X4 deer was 758 yards. Travel after hit was five to six yards. I was shooting 140 Berger VLD. The new Savage 10BA Stealth has a shorter throat, and an even shorter magazine. Because of the magazine I can't load .004 off the lands with my Bergers and if you don't load close they are not accurate. So I have switched to the 143 gr Hornady ELD-X. Accuracy is under 1/4 inch at 100 yards and the ballistic coefficient is slightly better than the VLD's in a tougher bullet. The 6.5 Creedmoor is much like the 6.5 Swede and the 260 Remington. The shorter case holds about the same powder but because it's shorter it allows the use of heavy bullets seated out further which doesn't take up powder space in the case. It's becoming a pet cartridge/bore diameter for me. From the choices your looking at I would pick 7mm first and 270 second. Don't care for a 25-06. The Creedmoor doesn't impress people at the muzzle, but sighted in for 200 yards it only hits an inch lower than the 25-06 at 400 yards. In energy and flat shooting the further out your shooting the more it eats the 25-06. [/QUOTE]
