[QUOTE="ol mike, post: 135073, member: 4683"] As Roy stated out to 600yds a 30-06 will do fine w/the right bullet. I am in the same boat as you i'm thought about going from an 06 to a 7mm STW.It takes some work=money to do and after doing some research i've decided on the 280 AI =ackley improved. I guess you know there are many cartridges based on the 30-06 case -a 280 rem is a 30-06 necked down to 28 caliber as is a 270 and 25-06. The AI=ackley improved version is a 40* shoulder put on the cartridge it cuts way back on brass trimming and adds powder volume to the case.Ballpark 150 ish fps. The 280/7mm class calibers have many great bullets to choose from. A 26-27" long barrel- 280 AI w/a 1-9 twist will shoot the heavy high bc bullets just fine.This cartridge is right on the heels of a 7mm magnum -w/ less powder. Bullets like the 162 a-max ,168 berger and 175 smk's will wack a deer at 600yds w/authority. Nosler now makes brass ready to load <- sized -chamfered ready to go! As far as rebarreling goes -once you have a top notch barrel installed you'll understand why people do it-accurate ,easy to clean and consistant. There are a few gunsmiths that frequent this site -fiftydriver is one -Kirby Allen is his name he helps out on here alot. I don't think you'll find a much better cartridge that tha 280 AI ,there are many to choose from but as i said earlier it will take a little more work/money. Best of luck -Mike [/QUOTE]
