        300wm gets my vote. Good stuff!

          Chew...I see no reason to have a hot rod round like the 28nos & limit it's ability to not take advantage of all the powder amigo with a short bbl. I would not go any shorter than 26".

          I have a 7.21 Firebird or 7mm Lazzeroni...I'll admit it's a novelty gun with useable barrel life at around 1000 rounds, but it is a laser out to 400 yards with only a 4-5 inch line of sight using a 120gr Laserhead bullet by Barnes. It takes 99 grains of powder & a 30" tube to achieve this at a little under 4000fps. It's like a Swift on steroids & doing it any different would just create extra muzzle blast. What is the point if you cannot wring it out??

          If you need a a shorter handier gun in the 24" range, I would build a 280AI or even a 7mag & keep it efficient & better balanced...my 280ai pushes 120's at 3400 out of a 26" tube.

            I might get in trouble with the BOSS!

              Why waste such a great rifle on an ordinary caliber?

              7mm Weatherby, look at what that thing will do.

                Won't stick with a 300 win mag. Only thing remotely close in .284 round is the 28 Nosler, without going ultra mag.

                    So can a 6.5-300 be done?

                      200 eldx vs 175 ablr pushed at 2850 run out to 1000 ftlbs within 50 yards of each other in favor of the win mag with drop/drift going slightly to the 7. I tend to think you could push the weatherby harder than that as well

                      You could certainly argue the viability of finding loading components or (god forbid) factory ammo choices/prices but the weatherby will hang

                        Ammo options and availability. Plain and simple. Never said it was the best round ever.

                          But one is a .284, and one is a .30 cal, if you want a .30 cal go Weatherby, or ultra mag.

                              I didn't aim to imply you were wrong, sir. I just love what that 7 Roy will do. For an elk caliber...mercy.

                                Point of fact, if we're debating it...there's no reason everyone in North America shouldn't own a .264 mag.[emoji51]
