As I looked at short actions - I was surprised at how hard it seems to be to find WSM or SAUM brass. 65 PRC may be a winner due to availability

Sherman Wildcat brass is available, though at a premium. In my experience the case dimensions allow brass to last a long time. Thankfully it's a one time investment.
 
6.5 or 7mm Sherman Short.
I have a 7SS and it is very versatile. Shoots the 160 and 170 class bullets at good velocity and great accuracy all in a short action package. Hard to say one is "better" than the other, but it is a very versatile cartridge. The 300 WSM is hard to beat though.
But with the newest bullets and fast twist barrels now being produced. The lines of "difference" are harder to see.
