284 win and 280 rem (7mm express rem if you're metrically disoriented) are two that are wayyy underrated that come to mind. Probably more too. The 264 win mag was the greatest, I carried one for 25 yrs. But sadly the ammunition companies ruined it with their 'two step' bullets and downloaded factory loading.

.257 STW personally I feel like the .257wby is too big for the caliber already, I'd rather see a short action, ie .257 WSM than the .257 STW I think. I think if you could squeeze .257 wby ballistics in a shorter cartridge that would be more inviting than getting some extra energy/velocity from a .257, plus I believe i read that the .257 WSM would beat the .257 wby ballistics, sounds like a better choice to both for me.

Well I see a ton of great idea's so far on this post. How about the uncommon yet highly effective 350 remington magnum. Nothing like having 35 whelen proformance in a short action!!
