[QUOTE="300win, post: 115021, member: 5965"] I have been down this road many times myself and always end up saying make it a tight chambered 300 win mag. You dont have alot of improvment options with the case. If you want to lenghten the neck you have to set back the shoulder. I hate that short neck also but what does it hurt? To blow out the sides and put a sharp shoulder on it may help but how much? Is it worth it to have to fire form brass and have custom dies made to maybe gain a few fps. The 308 norma mag or the 300/338 win mag is about the same cartridge as you are thinking of. And it also depends on your action. What is your max oal magazine length? OR maybe you want to go single shot so the oal does not matter. The 300 weatherby has always been a great long range round also. There are alot of great old cartridges based on the H&H that never get talked about. [/QUOTE]
