Default what cartridge should I have built with a standard action model 70.

Well the 27 Nosler idea is out as i did not do enough research and my donor action wont work. it is a Model 70 chambered in 270 Win currently

So that opens it up... With what I already have I was thinking of the following but am open to suggestions as well I want something over 3200 fps or faster

from 6mm to 7mm.

Some of things I am thinking of are

6mm -06AI
6mm-280AI
280 AI

I have a 270 WSM and 300 WSM, which is why i am looking for 6mm

25-06, or 6.5-06 would be worth considering.

Brass dies and even factory ammo available if needed
Plus they are essentially a higher capacity 284 win case which is a proven winner

The 6.5 RPM is pretty zippy as well. Sounds like what the OP is looking for
