[QUOTE="Rifleman97, post: 2028335, member: 103996"] I thought about the Norma but I thought that was the lapua sized bolt face, figured that would be too big to fit on the -06 bolt. Was considering 30 nosler or 300 Dakota since I’m not a big fan of going belted cartridges if I have an option not to. I don’t really have a problem with them per se, I’d just prefer beltless since I can get literally anything chambered. 30 nosler has the same OAL as the 30-06, and I have a bit of room for longer rounds in my mag. Plus if I remember right, the Dakota has a slightly wider face than the nosler does. Its got me thinking though. To Edward, I’m not worried about barrel life, I’m trying to push my range out to 1800 yards and my 30-06 doesn’t have enough velocity for that. I max out my scope and still don’t have enough. If I go up to 30 nosler or 300 Dakota, I’d have enough for it. I’ve got a place to shoot that goes out to roughly 1800, and my goal is to be able to hit a 24” gong at that range consistently. Barrels are replaceable. In fact, once I shoot out a barrel it’s easy to change chambering, meaning I can try all kinds of things! As for reloading components, I already have a brick of magnum federal primers. I’m considering just building a magnum dedicated long range rig but I thought I would entertain the idea of modifying one of the guns I have now, which is why I’m interested in the cost of having the bolt face opened up.
