[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2028561, member: 69192"] Curious if your cousin reloads? If your cousin reloads there are a few options, if not the options then become a bit more limited. What is the budget on this build? Also did not mention if the action is a long action or a short action. A good gunsmith ought to be capable of opening the bolt face which ought to give you a whole lot more cartridge choices. When considering going to another cartridge, it is also important to take into consideration the feed rails as well. I am in the process of putting together a 30-06 with a 26 inch Lilja barrel; donor rifle was already a 30-06. I don't believe that I will be getting or exceeding the velocities of the 300 WinMag, however I do believe that I will be coming close to them with the 26 inch barrel and some of the new powders that are out there today. This build will be for whitetail deer hunting, and my comfortable shooting distance is 300-400 yards, I do not think that whatever I shoot at the ranges I intend to hunt with will know the difference if it was shot with a 30-06 or a 300WinMag. Good luck with your build. [/QUOTE]
