I typed for 10 minutes.. and it didn't edit my post, darn it.. this may take a bit.
You may be on to something in that thinking.Agreed. I'm wanting to get away from the long skinny powder column and 1:10 twist. Maybe I'll just do this myself without input.
So is the cost of a new barrel less than clambering a special one. Is it the adventure or the result. I can't immagine the machine time, special reamer, or dedicated dies would provide any savings.
Make it in-between short and long action lengths. Cartridge length at 2.375. usable in a long action even with a tight magazine.My immediate thought was exactly as the first couple replies. 6.8 western and 277 fury. Don’t forget the 277 weatherby either. The weatherby always seemed like a good idea that was poorly executed in my mind. Kick it down to short action cartridge length but load it with heavy for caliber boattail ballistic tips and your in the same ballpark as what OP is describing. Heavy as in long and loaded long where it wouldn’t fit in a short action rifle. I sometimes have trouble finding the words to describe what’s in my head.
