300wsm, rebarrel, what caliber??

[Dalebow]

Ok I have one too many 300wsm's, 3 all built up by Hill Co Rifles, MG arms, McWhorter, love the round, love the guns, BUT I have a NIB Sako 85 Stainless in the syn stock. What caliber could that action work for in a rebarrel project? thought about the 325 wsm, maybe 200, 225gr berger, but lets think out of the WSM family....what ya thinking??

338 WSM is what I would buld

Had not thought about that one, that would make a nice 24" rifle

I dont reload (dont kill me) dont have time, who does custom ammunition that could load the 338wsm for me?

 

[Dalebow]

looks like McWhorter builds the 338wsm and could make me some dandies with the berger VLD

Um I dont know who would load that for you. There is the 338RCM for thouse who dont reload. You realy shold start at 60+ dollers a box of ammo its a no brainer.

If your Sako 85 is the Short Mag action, then I would think that the 338RCM would be nice...

But, you should check the COAL for clearance just to be sure.

That would be a nice way to go 338 RCM, I will check into it.
