Swap to a magnum head AND you name it. I just built a 7SAUM on a LA and the LR ballistics are crazy. It's slinging 175ELDX at 3150 with a 27" tube. Quite a bit faster than I expected but its within inches 0f a 338 Lapua for wind out to 1700 and doesn't go transonic till 1700. I wouldn't build one with the same expectations as I feel I got really lucky.
Still you can build ANYTHING you want. 28 Nosler, 300 RUM, 338 Edge. I like HORSEPOWER for LRH rigs. Nice litte 6.5s can get by at LR but I like to hit fast and hard with a large pill. Just me.
