More options available now
Rifle has arrived at Cooper. Spoke with them yesterday. They said they would swap out my bolt face and magazine, which brings more calibre's (non magnum) into play now, like the following. (only long or magnum cartridges are options, no short actions)
30-06 with heavy bullets
300 H&H
338-08 A-Square
35 Whelan
This will be a short to mid range gun more for elk and moose then deer with a larger "frontal area" then my 280ai. I guess is you could call my bush gun with some thump.
Then 2 that I'm really leaning towards are the 338-06 and 35 Whelen with a 22' barrel. Thoughts on these two? I do re-load.
Question for reloader- I believe both the 338-06 and 35 Whelen are based off of the 30-06 case. Is one or the other easier to re-size or work better with the 30-06 case?
