For a long action and the range these might be fun: 284, 280AI, 7 PRC. Not sure what you are hunting but you go a different route and add a 25 cal into the mix.

How about a 6ARC, 6GT, 6PPC type of cartridge?

Since you have 300 win mag stuff, build yourself a 7-300 wm, throat & twist it for the Apex Afterburners 147gr.
Hang a suppressor off the end of a barrel length of your choice & enjoy. !!

I would give a nod to a 25 cal something...PRC is a good cartridge...Easy to transform 6.5 prc down to 25...

In a long action mag bolt face?
How about a 270WSM on a long action for shooting the heavies. I'm just finishing one up. Decent brass support with Norma and Nosler still.

I'd personally build a SAUM !!
6.5, 7, or 300, your choice.
Short Barrel suppressed.
Brass is Not hard to find.
They are an over achiever, well designed case, no improvements needed, easy to load for,
easy to shoot. accurate, long barrel life, versatile,
& something you can shoot ALOT.

My next 2 builds will be a 338 RUM and a 6.5-7 PRC. Funny, because for the RUM, I plan on repurposing a Tac 300 action. Either of those rounds will work in your action and looks like they would fill gaps in your lineup. I know you don't have a 'need' for a 338 but it would still be cool. 
+1 on the short barrel setup (if you dont already have one)I'd personally build a SAUM !!

This might be somewhat hijacking but is along the same lines. I've been considering building a 7 saum or 6.5 prc in a short barrel, suppressed set-up. Meanwhile, I have a Proof Research 28 nosler I've been trying to sell. (I've got a 7PRC coming that will greatly resemble the gun in the pic above, but with a 24" barrel.
This thread made me think maybe I should just remodel the 28 Nos into the short barrel gun I'd like to build. It has a 26" CF barrel with an 8.4" twist. Defiance ruckus action.
Is this a reasonable idea?? Or is it crazy talk to try to turn a 28 into a 7 saum or something similar?

7 RUM Imp 40° yes Please
Well I have always wanted a weatherby MRK V action in 7mm weatherby with a 1:9 twist. But they don't make them, they had a new model that is made when you order that supposedly had the correct twist 1:9 twist rate but I was informed it was a typo. So I can either get a 28 nosler or a 7mm PRC in the new weatherby model, or it is back on the Custom route. So I will tag in and see what you come up with. Just out of curiosity has anyone throated a 7mm PRC? If so what were the results?

No, in another cartridge you don't have.
