For me, I've become a pretty big fan of my 6.5 PRC. But I've been killing stuff with 7mm mag and 300WM for decades.

I do not think the cartridge choice in any of my rifles have ever been the reason for my success.

Lots of good cartridges: My recommendations are the 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, .270 Win, 280 AI, 7mm RM.

And, don't rule out a good 7-08 or the old 30-06.
