6mm remmy, with 115 DTAC's. More powder capacity than the 243 win, and meets all your criteria.

+1 for the 7mm-08, great cartridge.

Case shape prevents more velocity than the 243 win.

Henh, henh, henh...; youse guys...
Why is it folks never consider a Long Action cartidge in a Short Action?
As long as it's single fed, the only other issue is extracting/ejecting a live round. That's easy, you just trip the bolt release and withdraw the bolt a little further. Plinkkk, out she falls. ...Like that's gonna happen all so often, anyway...?
Now, then; since the range is open to more selections, mine is either a .30-'06 or a .280 Rem. Should put the others somewhere back around 3rd place or worse.
Or am I out of order here, folks?
.220 Swift, anyone?
Greg
...or just a f'rinstance, .270 130gr SST Superformance. Using published ballistics, gets to 1Kyd with 22 MOA elevation on a 200yd zero, stays Supersonic out to 1200yd. Not shabby for a factory round.
And if a short round it must be, try a faster twist .22-250. 3500fps with a 70gr?</div></div>
Greg,
The reason we cannot consider a LA round in a SA is because it is utterly ridiculous to think about single feeding in a tactical rifle. If I wanted a LA cartridge, I would get a LA. That way I could run heavier bullets seated out farther to take full advantage of its full capabilities.
