This means you can shoot heavy subs, but still load longer range bullets to shoot deer out to 600 yards and do everything in between plus be supersonic to still shoot targets at 1000 yards for fun. and when you get stuck into a mob of goats you can take the 10 rd mag.

if not keen on shooting subs, then the same in 6.5 Creedmoor

This pretty much sum's it up for me except for a smaller scope 2.5-10 as I not worried about targets at 100 yards.
Could be a 7mm08 if not shooting subs, Wait that's what I got 20" 7mm08 tikka T3 with Atlas bottom metal that can take a 10rnd mag if I want
