    What to do with my Omark ?

    Not shooting FTR anymore, so the Omark has become a bit of a safe queen.

    Thinking about options for turning it into something a bit more suited to occasional ELR shoots.

    Been talking to gundoc and Jaco Goosen, but keen to hear other opinions as well.

    The bolt face does not have a lot of meat, so I am stuck with .470

    H2O case capacities:

    30-284 : 66.2gr
    30-06 : 68.4gr
    30-06 AI (assuming +5%) : 71.8gr

    It is a single shot, so no mag length issues to complicate matters, and if I need to, happy to pull the bolt to get a loaded case out.

    Guess what I am after is a 470 bolt face 30 cal chambering that would allow me to send 200gr + projectiles downrange as fast as possible.

    Any better ideas than 30-06 AI ?
