[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 1577019, member: 2460"] Being that your bolt has a magnum face, your simplest and most likely the best option is to rebarrel to the 300 WSM, a much better choice for big game like elk over anything in 6.5mm, don't get caught up in the 6.5 craze as most of it is comical hysteria, the 300 WSM is easy to load, reloading data, components and factory ammunition is readily available the 300 WSM has a great history in big game hunting in it's factory form and long throated version in long range competition, once you get familiar with reloading you can have a gunsmith run a throating reamer in and you will gain additional powder capacity and capability to use heavier, higher bc bullets like the proven Berger 215 and 230 gr Hybrids [/QUOTE]
