I am getting ready to have a custom rifle built for myself and need some help on choosing a caliber. The action will be a Remington 700 5R, and is a short action so I will be restricted on the caliber. My gunsmith informed me that his most popular rifles are chambered in 243AI and 308 winchester. He also told me that if I wanted a magnum that I would have to stick with the short magnums. My problem with Short Magnums is will they hang out much longer, and will ammo be avaiable in the distant future. My reason for doubt is that Winchester came out with the 300 WSM, 7mm WSM, 270 WSM, and 325 WSM. They all seem to fade in popularity except for the 300 WSM.
I need help in choosing a caliber, remember I am limited because it is a short action, but I need it for a all around hunting rifle (Whitetail, Elk, Moose, Black Bear)
Thanks,
