[QUOTE="arch408, post: 2024681, member: 59036"] What was the original caliber? If you don't go back to the same cartridge, you might have to get a new magazine box, bolt, and you might have to modify the feed rails. I sounds like you have a long action. If it's a 30-06 bolt face and you want more oomph, I'd go for the .30 Gibbs. You get velocities approaching the short mags and you have the advantage of having one more cartridge in the magazine. I really like mine. If you have a mag bolt face, you have several choices. I like my .300 RUM, but you will have to get a new mag box and will have to alter the feed rails. and if you get a get a Wyatte box, you can seat your bullets out further and get even higher velocities. With any of the "wide" bodies you will need a new mag box. If you don't want to change the magazine, I'd go with either the Winchester or Weatherby Magnum. [/QUOTE]
