Thanks for your input.

I am sure that I could maybe handle a .308 with more time to get accustomed to it (I usually on get about 10 shots once a month as it is now) but I definitely wouldn't want, say, a .300 Win Mag or .338 Lapua or anything that's going to be an even bigger thumper for now.

That said, I will definitely consider some of the other cartridges you listed and do some research into each of them. In your experience, which of them are easy to find in stock at a big chain store/online? What budget-ish rifles do you like in the chambers you've listed?
