[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1947293, member: 2736"] I have all three rifles you mentioned and it would be a hard choice for me to make so I would look at all of my options. First, with all of the cases and dies for the 30/378 I would look at setting the shoulder back first because the rest of the barrel should be in good shape except for the lead and throat unless you have heated it up and have other problems. with only around 1500 rounds down the tube, chances are that a shoulder set back of one thread could fix it with little expense. If you want to stay with 30 caliber, the 300 rum would be a very good choice but the expense of brass, dies and working up reloads would/could be a factor. if you wanted to go with a 338. there are many choices, but with your bolt face you would be limited unless you changed actions to get a magnum bolt face. if you changed actions I would recommend something based of the rum case Like the 338 Edge, or a wildcat based of the 375 RUM.
