Great Nic.
Hehe, thanks mate!
No worrys Comrade. The struggle continues.(Stir)
Enjoy that Yugo Mauser. Good buy. You may have to seat those projectiles a bit deeper and use a faster powder with lower volumne but inside 200metres, the wee beasties will never tell the difference.

I am realising that it may be time to retire my .30-06 which is a BSA made in the fifties and has seen use by three generation in our family. She is getting temperamental in her old age.
..... I already have and does not fill the gap between my .270 Win. & .375 H&H.
I would appreciate comments on my list and feel free to add suggestions!
Cheers
umshiniwam,
IMO - Your options are well thought-out and your all over/around the fix!
Here's what it would boil down to for me:
#1 - Rebarrel the 30/06 and use it for 3 more generations.
#2 - New rifle in an 8x57 or a 9.3x62 Mauser.

jstevensQuit worrying about a heavier bullet than the 7x57 175 grain and build one of these. It will work just like the .30-06.

Dago Redfirst I'll admit to not reading all the replies, so if already asked I'm sorry
although I'd go with a whelen, if you wanted to stay the same as 06 you could do a 30 x 35 whelen. neck the 35 whelen down to 30 cal
use 35 whelen market brass. you have the cartridge you want, in a gun stamped as something else.

Great idea! You might even be able to use 30-06 ammo in it.
