This is for a short action. Id go with a different round otherwise. Im limited by design. I should have got a long action in 308, but I didnt know much at the time about all that. Now I have a pretty expensive custom gun that ive built in 308 that I would like to simply be able to swap out the barrel and bolt face and mag and call it good.
And why do you need a bigger bullet for hunting? Ive killed deer for years and years with a 223. Thats about as small as ethically allowable. Even that can be questionable if you dont know your stuff and take very well placed shots. Thats why a got a 308 because of availability and more knockdown. I know people hunt elk with 308 too so its kind of like shooting a deer with a bow in bow season and thinking you need a 300 mag for deer later in gun season...i dont think they got any tougher or bigger in that time. Hehe
