[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 109665, member: 10"] Rem, I would also recommend against the belted magnum for the same reasons Chris mentioned. Sometimes the RUM receivers will still function with a standard belted mag case but its not the best situation. If you want to do this I would also agree on just replacing the factory mag box with a center feed HS DM system, problem solved. My Allen Xpress round are on the same case capacity scale as the STW rounds or any other full length belted magnum round so they may still be larger then you are wanting for your project. Barrel life will also be shorter then you are looking for except for maybe the 270 AX. It may offer 2000 rounds of barrel life if it is really babied but I would say that would be stretching it. From what you discribe, I would say you would be hard pressed to beat something like a 270 wsm or 7mm wsm. Around a 70 gr powder capacity, plenty of velocity and BC for long range shooting but also several quality lighter weight bullets if wanted for lighter game. As far as a bull elk at 800 yards, both would do it with a properly placed shot but personally I feel this is pushing these two rounds pretty hard. Black bear, thats a different story. Black bears are no harder to kill then your typical mature whitetail or mule deer. In fact I would say a big whitetail in full rut is harder to put down so both of these would be plenty potent for this size of game. I would recommend a 270 WSM be set up to shoot the heavy Wildcat Bullets. The 169.5 gr ULD RBBT gives this round fr more long range potential then you would ever think it should have. Even with a twist required for this bullet you could still shoot all the Ballistic Tips and Accubonds as well. The receiver would need a bit of work, a spacer in the mag box would be a good idea and the bolt face would need to be opened slightly in some cases as the WSM head is slightly larger then the RUM. Some do not need this but as soon as you way this you run into one that does. These would be my choices for the list of goals you list for this rifle. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
