Just For Fun Thread (Times are so serious) - Which Short Action Caliber Should I Build Next?

.358 Winchester

Wild catting has been enjoyable work for me for many years. Dream it
and make it. PRC was mentioned but I'd direct you to look up the Sherman
line of cartridges first. The Creedmoor is always a safe bet but I'm moving
away from it from boredom......With all that .308 brass, maybe a 260 AI and
26 inch barrel

My next one will be 6BR (maybe 6BRA). It will replace my .223.

I have a .308 and have had a 7mm-08. Both every good. When I had the 7mm-08 (back in the mid-80's) I formed most of my brass from military 7.62 stuff. Just a pass through the resize die. I like the .308 more now simply because I shoot a lot of cast bullets in it.

Another vote for 7-08 it's a fine round.

22BR, 6BR see what you've been missing! Or really see what you've been missing and go 6 or 6.5x47L.

6 Creedmoor or 6 ARC? In the process right now of converting my .223 12 FV into a 6.5 Creedmoor using a take-off barrel from another 12 FV (I think). If I'd gone with a new barrel, I'd probably have gone with one of the 6's instead. Whatever you decide, have fun!

All very good answers! The 243 AI caught my attention because I remember Vaughn Precision doing a video series on a 243 AI build. Unfortunately right now, I wouldn't want to use components for fire forming brass. I'm going to have a hard time passing on the 7-08! i think the 6BR is scratching my attention also though.
