First time i have heard of the P14/17 action not being strong, gunsmiths i spoke to about them rate them right up there with K98 mauser mod 70 actions etc. it must be a myth like the 96 mauser being shitQuote:

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 weakQuote:

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.Quote:

looks pretty close to 3000ft/s to me .375 Remington Ultra Magnum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaQuote:
