Design a 338 Lapua-if you were going to buy one, what would it be?

They will definitely cover most needs for sure.  If I had to pick two they would be the Edge and my 6mm.  Although my WSM is growing on me and seems to be my new "go to" rifle.  But then again, I am lucky to be able to play with a bunch of different stuff 

(not trying to thread jack here)

What makes you choose the 6MM over the 270 or a 7MM?

A berger 105 at 3250+ has the same energy or more as a 270 w/130gr and shoots flatter, cheats wind, etc at distance.  Has less recoil and uses less powder as well.  For an all around gun, the 7mm would have to be it, but the 6mm will handle everything from prairie dogs to large deer(and yes an elk has fallen to it as well), and the 338 can handle everything.  Having shot deer and antelope out to 1k with the 6mm, I know what it is capable of.   If you could only have one, it would be a 7mm for sure.  Sorry for getting things off track.

Makes sense to me!

I am not much of a 7guy, but the 180 bergers are a damn slick bullet too.
