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 ?
.30 Lazzeroni Warbird :)
What about a good old .300 mag? Or are you wanting to keep the bolt face unchanged?
30-284 is another option

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

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

So does that work out to 200-300fps more than normal for you with that round?
225fps gain with 10grain heavyer bullet.

Or 10 inches (20 percent) less wind drift at 600y.
30 06ai may do better?

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