    My only suggestion would be try and get a more normal magnum, unless you have time and $ two burn.

    300 Win Mag Mucko. Knock the nuts of a gnat at 1000 paces.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Why a belted magnum like everyone else? why not something like .270 or .30 Gibbs?

    Pick something from here or failing that print the page out and throw a dart at it. I vote for the 6.5-50BMG

    The P14 is not the strongest of actions. Ackley tested a number of them plus p17's and M98's and concluded that a cartridge that produced around the 53,000cup was pretty much at the top end safty wise.

    .458 Win Mag. I'd have said Lott but I think the actions too short for that, and the pressure a little high.
    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.
