    I promised to never buy a 308 because I'm so invested in 30.06 platforms.

    May actually consider a 243 because I have no 6mm calibres and I've heard nothing but good things.

    I'm surprised they wouldn't go with 6.5. Creedmore likely too long, but Grendel would work.
    I have no signature block.

    I'd expect 7mm-08 over 260. Oh well.

    I think I'd probably go for the 243 route myself.

    6.5Creedmoor is based off the .308 case. Ditto .260Rem. 6.5Grendel is kinda sorta based off the 7.62x39 (long convoluted story. Some say 6.5PPC, others say 6PPC, others still say .220 Russian. All based off the x39 though.)

    I'm not too sure the Creedmoor would reliably feed, given the shorter case and sharper shoulders for the OAL. I think .260 is going to have the edge here.

    Seeing as the NEA 102 will NOT be a long range gun for me, the 308 win. will be my pick.

    For varmints 110 V-max...for moose 180 SST and a lot of choices in between

    It's going to have to be a very accurate platform to start with for the creedmoor to make sense IMO. But the hordes of people in the states with creedmoor AR10's show that it will reliably feed.

    I bought a couple crates of hirtenberger also. For me its only .10 cents a round more than the norinco surplus with reloadable brass. Totally worth it.
