..how about NONE OF THE ABOVE !!! A plain Jane ho-hum .270win or .280rem will do anything those fly by nighters will do with ZERO ANIEXTY or MENTAL ANGUISH....Casings and components will always be available long after your search for the other 3 ended in disappointment for the hundredth time....why go nuts for 100 fps, life's too short....

I have a 6.5 PRC currently and I'm planning to build a 7 SAUM this time around. The 6.8 Western is a super close comparable (definitely some cool factor). I hunt deer and elk here in Montana and those rounds just offer a little more oomph to reach out for that harder elk shot when you need it. I do like the light recoil of the 6.5 PRC (a lot) but I had a couple potential shots on elk this year that I definitely would have preferred the 7 SAUM/6.8 W for instead of the 6.5 PRC. It gives you just a little bit more range and energy. They all shoot pretty flat which is good. If I didn't also hunt elk I'd rebarrel my 6.5 PRC with another. And I wouldn't get another but my PRC is getting close to the end of life. It is an awesome cartridge.

Whatever lets you practice and get confident in your shot gets my vote. Have fun and good luck!
