[QUOTE="johnlittletree, post: 1556327, member: 105653"] Maybe something in .338, 358, 9.3mm, 8mm or .375. . You really have the hi velocity cartridges covered at this point. What you do not have is a 10lbs. hammer with a 5 foot swing! Sure the argument could be made that you 300 WM can fire 210gr. -230gr. really solidly constructed bullets to take the place of much larger cartridges but since you have the rifle might as well use it. A 220gr round nose fired from a 30-06 is devastating combo under 500m. The most important thing to do to that Remington is truing the front receiver face if going with a traditionally machine barrel with a tenon and mating surface that mates to the receiver face. Do a Remage and you can eliminate the need for that. A full on blue print would be better still but not required for a hunting rifle. Since you already have a lot of hi velocity cartridges the last thing that would make any sense would be more of the same. That is like the guy that owns 7 Remington's all chambered for 30-06 because that the best cartridge ever invented! LOL If you were wanting to continue the trend with hi velocity at the very least check out the .338 RUM since it has both hard hitting soldily constructed hunting bullets and hi velocity. 338 LM performance on a standard length non-magnum action.
