So if you had a Montana 1999 action, with short magnum bolt face size and the stock what caliber barrel would you attach to the action?

There is no way to coexist no matter how many bumper stickers there are on Subaru bumpers!

Another vote for the 7 WSM.
There are 2 rules to success:

I’m building a 6.5PRC on my Montana 1999 SS WSM action. I was lucky enough to procure a lightweight MPI stock that fits the Bill perfectly. I’m using a #3 Hart 1-8” Twist factory flutted.

I'd second the 6.5 PRC, although the OP did not state what the intended use was.

Not really a specific hunt in mind for it, i am kinda chasing the rabbit down the rabbit hole now, leaning toward a 358 wsm if i can find a barrel. i have some other 358's at least i would have similar bullet around to reload.

9.3 BS would be in the running for me. It's a 350 Rem Mag necked to 9.3. First bullet I'd try would be the 250gr Accubond.
