[QUOTE="THE1LAF, post: 2921772, member: 127503"] I also bought a short action mag switch bbl setup, more limiting myself because I'm a lefty and wanted the new HNT26 chassis so Rem 700SA was my only option.. Here's a list of SA magnums I came across: 6.5 SS 6.5PRC 7 SAUM 7 SS 7 WSM 270 WSM 6.8 Western 270 SS 300 SS 300 RCM 300 WSM 300 SAUM 325 WSM 338 SS 338 RCM Obviously viability on a lot of these comes down to if you hand load or not. The 300WSM is the most prolific large magnum as far as commercial availability, but the SS & RCM's have peaked my attention. A lot of the variability is how much the cartridge is optimized for long heavy bullets. Combine a 300 & 338 with my 6.5 PRC and any animal can be handled. For a single cartridge... 7's are hard to beat right now if you aren't hunting dangerous game, bullet aerodynamics have made the 6.5's & 7's run laps around the 300's in the wind until you move to the larger LA magnums.
