Why own a large shank action?

I'd suggest you stick to the 308 base cartridges...mags are expensive to shoot...if you shoot a lot you might want to look at a 6.5mm for your next barrel.

I know the mags are expensive, but it would just be awesome to have one.

I almost built a 6.5mm Creedmore, but stuck with the .243 because of the availability and affordability of the brass.
