Sell them all, and start over.
I'd be looking at a 6.5 Creed for 90% of your hunting, and a 300wsm for the rest should the need arise. That's actually pretty good advice. Both use the same powders too. The 300 WSM is really just a big Creedmoor.

It says 6.16 lbs if I did the math correct. By the time you get a scope and mounts on it along with a sling and some ammo your looking at 8lbs or more. I wouldn't be a bit scared of that if the stock was didn't pound my face.

Why thin...
But 243 and 338... would do just about anything with the 243 though... and if I really wanted for the biggest US stuff, I"d go 375 or 416 something insteda of 338...

I have a standard 85 finnlight in 300 win and it's not bad even with 200 grain partitions. I wouldn't want it much lighter though and sometimes wish I'd just bought it 30-06. Dink

.30-06. Done.
