So I want to rebarrel a 700 this winter for tactical matches and I'm trying do decide what caliber. I want to keep it at 20" and going to run a can. Which would be the best out of these three-6 competition match, 6.5 creedmoor, and 7mm-08AI. The targets are between 200-600 yards with a couple at 900 as bonuses.
 
Re: Tactical Rifle Caliber

most 6.5 will work great, 6.5 lapua, creedmoor and the 260 rem. the 7-08 is darn good also but doesn't have to be an AI
the 308 with 175's will do all that too but not as flat a trajectory.
