6.5-06
.260 Remington
6.5x284 Norma
6.5 Creedmoor
Since you have a long action, the 6.5x284 makes a lot of sense, but it's a barrel burner. You can load long on the COL without worrying about action or magazine length, with the right reamer.
The 6.5-06 fits right into the action size you're using, as well as the magazine dimensions. Here's a really good article on it:

Brass is available, but expensive. You can form it from .25-06, .270 Win., and .30-06.
