[QUOTE="jpfrog, post: 1435418, member: 32525"] My first question is, "Do the two of you like the cartridges you shoot now (30-06 and 300wsm)?" If yes, I see no need for re-barreling in a different round, and maybe no need for re-barreling at all if the current barrel is well suited for your intended application and is in good shape. My second question is, "Do you reload, or do you shoot factory ammo?" If you shoot factory ammo, and the answer to my first question is no, I would NOT suggest re-barreling into a wildcat such as one of the Sherman options, but rather would suggest determining why you don't like the cartridges you have and going with an option that is more suitable to what you're looking for AND has readily available QUALITY factory ammo. I would also suggest first learning to reload for your rifles as they are setup currently before deciding to modify the rifles. If you reload for the rifles already, try tweaking your loads for better performance. If you reload and don't like your current chambering, then maybe a wildcat...but I'd avoid switching from two cartridges where factory components are readily available to two wildcats where you'll have to form your own brass, etc. My opinions only.
