[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1253932, member: 4566"] I'm building a 7SAUM on a Savage right now so that was my first thought. Since it's factory brass only it takes away many choices. If you want to keep the 06 bolt it takes even more away. 280 comes to mind but you already have one. It would be nice to AI anything in this class so if that's permissible then you open a few doors. Since you have the small stuff covered I would look larger especially with elk and such on the plate. So 30-06 boring, or 338-06 AI. 338-06AI brass is available and acording to some can be made to run a 250 at 2600 or so. Holds close to 1500 in energy to 1k. 20 MOA to 850 or so. Not a common choice but a LOT of power in a small package. I would look into a brake lol. You could also load it to run 160-185 stuff well over 3k for goats and deer and that shoots surprisingly flat and recoil would be low. If you change bolt face it opens up a lot more possibilities but you should look at the stats on that rig 1st. It would do what you want very well, cost less and be super versatile and most likely a breeze to load for. [/QUOTE]
