    .458 Win Mag there are some nice conversions done on the p14 and you can load 45-70 level all the way up to max.

    Velocity is thrilling,but diameter does the real killing.

    Seen a few Mauser 96 actioned rifles being sold under the brand name stiga in 270 and 30-06 although alot of people say they are not strong enough but it was the old krag actioned 6.5x55's that got a bad rep for being weak

    All I can say is the test results for the destruction of various actions are in the series of volumes written by P.O. Ackely in the mid sixties.

    I am thinking 375RUM its a beltless case maybe the same case as 338 edge i love my 6.5mm rifles but this time i want mass and like the thought of 300gr pill doing 3000ft/s is pretty awesome.

    Up to 5800 ft lbs ME?! You got a stray herd of t-rexs on your place, or just a casual vendetta with your shooting shoulder?
