[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1516344, member: 12995"] What other caliber options? You literally have hundreds of options if you include wildcats and Ackley Improved cartridges... I would go with a magnum sporter contour barrel at minimum to avoid as much "whip" as possible, maybe something around a Bartlein 3B Fluted would be idea for your scenario. Still light, but strong. If you handload, and want to stick with .30 caliber, then I highly recommend building a .300 Sherman. No modifications will be needed for your rifle, other than a new barrel. It is very similar to the .30-06, but WAY better ballistics and velocity. Rich Sherman sells dies, reamers, and might even sell you a pre-fit Remage style barrel for your rifle already chambered in .300 Sherman, and all you'll need is a set of dies, and set of headspace gauges. [URL]https://shermanwildcatcartridges.com/300-sherman[/URL] You can buy dies and stuff here... [URL]https://shermanwildcatcartridges.com/online-store?olsPage=t%2F300-sherman-la[/URL] If you are looking for factory ammo, go .280 AI. Nosler makes factory ammo for it, and sells factory brass.
