    A theoretical question

    Ive decided to keep my 308 Weatherby Mk V ultra-light, but if I wanted to stretch it's legs a bit, what calibre could I open it up to ?

    It's currently a 308 but runs off a long action ( thats blocked ) & the barrels mint so I want to keep it 30cal. So what's my options, 30-06, 30-06ai any other ideas ?
    Shoot it, root it & then BBQ it !!!

    .30 Lazzeroni Warbird

    What about a good old .300 mag? Or are you wanting to keep the bolt face unchanged?

    Is that what you changed yours to Cam? What kind of velocities you getting now? And what twist barrel you get?

    Yes.
    2975fps with 178gr amax.
    10 twist.

    It would go better out of a longer action and throated to suit.

    Or 10 inches (20 percent) less wind drift at 600y.

    30 06ai may do better?

    The 30-06imp I do is an extremely impressive performer Philipo.

    I got 3150-3200fps with 168s & 24" factory 30-06 barrel.

    It is one of the "bigger" 30-06 improved, dies etc are simple, virtually the shelf

    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
