[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1891510, member: 14204"] This is really a loaded post, so let's simplify it a little bit. Your subject says "[COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)][SIZE=4][I][B]Most potent long range elk cartridge with .473 bolt face[/B]" [/I][/SIZE][/COLOR]so, .300 WM and .300 PRC are out. You do not like the idea of fire-forming first before, so your SS consideration is out. I am no expert but this leaves .30-06 AI and .280 AI seems to be your best options. I am in no way suggesting which way to go, just trying to simplify things to help you in your decision-making process. The most potent factor regardless of chambering is the "NUT" behind the trigger. BTW, I originally was going to have my .30-06 re-chambered to AI but went with .30 Gibbs instead ("my" personal choice).
