Help choosing a new build

I have a Rem 700 Short action laying around collecting dust and trying to decide on cartridge.
I already have a 6 PPC and 6-284.
Both of those shoot the lighter 62- 80 gr bullets.
I am looking to build something for the heavier 105-115 bullet range
Gun will be used for 600- 1000 yard target and maybe some hunting.
I am an experienced reloader so wildcats don't scare me.

Options I can think of are:

6 x 47
6XC
6 BR
6 Dasher
 
I'd say 6BR if mostly for 600, either 6x47 or 6XC (latter's my favorite) for an even mix, 6 Dasher for mostly 1,000.

Tough choice as they're all superb cartridges. I've seen shooters do very well with 6BR @ 1,000 yards but not when the wind's blowing much.

The 6BR 8 tw would cover what you want. But the 6 Dasher work better for 1000 yds. I have 6BR's and 6 BRX for both ranges.
