[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 159677, member: 4785"] [b]Switch Barrel[/b] Hi i would look at the 338/06 Improved. It will get you close to the 338 win mag and still give you the ability to use the 30/06 in the came action without having to modify the magazine if switching the barrels. I would get the 30-06 barrel rechambered to 300WSM if opening the boltface and mag modifications or just leave the boltface as is. Another great round for you would be the 376 steyr necked to 338 this will give you 338 Win mag performance but it has a larger diameter body like a 284 win or .500 as aposed to .470 on the 06 case. I think you will have to work out exactly the case diameters you want to use. A good compromise would be a 30-284 and the 338-376 Steyr as they are the same diameter and would both fit the same boltface and feed through the same magazine. Cheers Bill Australia [/QUOTE]
