I have a 7mm-08 for deer and a .222 for varmits/coyotes.
If ifs and buts were like candy and nuts, it would be Christmas every day.

short and fat: .284 win and .338RCM I love all these. GREAT choices. If it were me, though: 6.5 Creedmoor and .338 Federal 6.5x284 and .338 RCM
What could be a sadder way to end a life than to die having never hunted with great dogs, good friends and your family?

Probably not best due to action lengths and bullet deigns of today, but most innovative cases for their time would be 6.5 Rem Mag and 284 Win. Many of today's popular case designs owe a little something to them.

By far, I prefer the tall lanky Brazilian super models to the short chubbies so give me a 270 or 280 over any .473 based shorty.
The short ultra fats will never feed as well as the LA magnums but just serve to create a buying frenzy among those seeking “the answer”.
