    New short action cartridge choice

    I’ve got a short action donor that needs a purpose. Problem is that I can’t decide what caliber to go with. Here is what I already have in a short action....223, 243, 6.5 CM. Something to keep in my is I primarily shoot suppressed. What cartridge does the green screen recommend?

        What size bolt face ?

        Do you reload or strictly shoot factory ammo ?

          It’s a standard bolt face for Winchester model 70. I shoot factory loads.

                    Isn’t that a magnum face?

                          Not strange at all. 7-08 is an excellent choice. 1 in 8 and 1 in 9 twists shoot 150-165 grain bullets well and with low recoil. It’s an excellent caliber. It would definitely get the nod.

                            Another vote for 708. Love that caliber.

                              I would go with either the 7-08 or a .284 Winchester.
