Default 6-6,5 mm brass that"™s used in more than one calibers

Hello

I want to buy a remington 700 VS lh rifle for deer hunting. It is only made in these tree calibers:
.223
22-250
.308

The minimum requirements for deer hunting is a 6 mm bullet (cal .243). The .308 is the only one of the above calibers that"™s big enough but personally I think its too big. I want a caliber in the range from 6mm to 6,5 mm. I know that the .308 and .243 use the same brass so I could buy a VS in .308 and replace the barrel for a .243 barrel without needing to modify bolt or action. Do you guys know of any other calibers (6-6,5mm) that use the same brass as any of the three models of VS´s (that would not need bolt or action modifications)?

Thanks
jonj

260 rem (6.5 cal) uses 243-308-358 brass. 6mm remington will also work in a short action, it uses 257-7X57 brass
