Right now, my plan is to get a carbon barrel in a 8.5 twist that is 22 inch in length in 7mm-08. Maybe 24 inches.

Might need to replace stock.

Probably. One thing at a time unless I can get some people to donate to the project.
A 358 wWn would allow you to use pistol bullets as well as dialing in the velocity for manageable recoil. H4895 allows reduced loading:

The lightweight bullet for less recoil is the180 Speer flat tip and it is a great penetrator. Read about it here. http://www.suitorsgarage.com/gunstuff/35remington/35rempart2.html
Can also load it up to max potential and it will work on bears and elk.

I have also been thinking of the 338 federal. Does anyone have any experience with that cartridge?
