The L/A is a 0.473 or 0.532" bolt face?
If the mag BF, then .257 or 264. The Bee if you don't reload and the Win Mag if you do.

The short action to be Whitetail and the long action will be Whitetail on up.
Should have stated that we have multiple 223 and a few 22 250
we reload everything so that's not a problem

'99 favors controlled-feed actions since they're easier for him to use.

Stock em, scope em. Done. You have two of the best chambering there are for your use. They are common and popular for good reason. Damn, I am getting boring as I age.

.243 and a .280AI, both with 8 twist barrels. Pretty close to my thoughts, though I'd opt for a 6.5 Creedmo0r in lieu of the .243. 8 Twist in the 6.5; 8.75 or 9 in the 280AI.
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.
