[QUOTE="Huggy, post: 1620983, member: 101145"] This was my thought on the topic as well. Why not save all the angst and just up the caliber? Say like moving to a 220 Swift as one example? I generally don't shoot much LR in smaller calibers other than .223 Remington. Not because I don't want to...just never got around to it, but it seems that trying to get Lamborghini performance out of an old Ford Taurus is a great way to toss loads of $$ at an otherwise fruitless project when there might already be a better mouse trap, as the saying goes. Not that I'm against experimentation, you understand. I guess I'm more of a purpose-built kinda guy and leave the modifications up to polishing the individual round(s) to extract the utmost performance in a given caliber. Again, I'm NOT criticizing a specific caliber over another. Honest. I'm just intrigued by the mindset that looks to make one object into something that is already accomplished by another, dedicated, item. However, all that said, if a shooter is an experimenter and likes to tinker to find that next great gun/ammo/bullet combination, I say Why NOT?!? Good Luck and let us know what you ultimately decide on and how the project turns out for you. Who knows? You might just change this Curmudgeons mind. LOL [/QUOTE]
