Looking at getting another target rifle and I see that Savage chambers most of their target rifles in these calibers in addition to .308. I have a model 10FCP in .308 so I'm looking for another caliber and don't know much about these 4.

What are the differences/similarities?

Advantages of one over the other?

Source for factory loaded ammo or are these pretty much a handloaders cartridge?

Any help or insight you have from experience or credible sources is much appreciated!

Thanks,
P_S
