[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1377438, member: 2736"] The only thing I can think of for your bolt face, action length and caliber that would be very easy to convert that could out perform the 7 Rem Mag would be the 7mm STW. Shortening the barrel would cause a velocity loss, but the fact that it is faster than the 7 Rem Mag should bring it down to reasonable velocities with a shorter barrel. I am a big proponent of the 7/08 and 7/08x40 but many changes would have to be made to your rifle to accommodate it. So if you wanted to go this route, A new rifle with a short action should be considered. Any of the short Mags Would work but would require a new barrel for chambering. Just My opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
