Default Building a rifle around bullets?

A friend and I were bantering back and forth today laughing about silly things that start a rifle build. What about a particular box of bullets? I have 80% of a box of 180 grain .308 Hornady Interlocks that I bought from the late George Hoffman before he died of cancer. I have wanted a 30-06 to shoot them from and I thought I would take them hunting for something that George might have enjoyed chasing. Maybe a Bighorn Ram, perhaps a Moose, a Whitetail, or a bull Elk?

What do you think. Should I work on that? It seems a noble reason to put together a rifle. Doesn't it?

Maybe a nice Winchester LH action and wood stock with a rust blue action and barrel? Cool Idea for sure Chuck, I know different caliber but a Jack O'Connor type rifle comes to mind.
