As quoted from <35425@mimsy.umd.edu> by cscc1f@menudo.uh.edu (Gregory W. Hayes):

# I would also like some input what the most prevalent caliber is and any
# advice on what the best twist is for that caliber.  Right now I'm
# looking at .22-250, .25-06, .264 Win mag, 7mm Rem mag, .308, .30-06,
# .300 Win mag, and .220 Swift.  I should also put that the range I shoot
# at has a 500 yard section and that is my ultimate goal.
 
My suggestion would be .308, .30-06, or 6.5x55 in that order.  The former two
I recommend because of the vast resources of components, loading data and 
experience available.  The latter I recommend, just because it's such a 
good round.  Very accurate and not at all punishing to shoot a lot.  A friend
is using a Swedish M96 as a match rifle.
