Hoping for some response on this post. I have been shooting this rifle for years and it has all the bell and whistle's finished like I like it. Only issue is the cartridge. I am tired of dealing with the cases for the AI and will be handing this rifle down to non reloaders in the next few years. With that in mind I would like to go to another .30 caliber cartridge and the .300 Win Mag is right there for my action length. I thought about the Short Mag but since my action is long it kind of defeats the purpose. What is the general consensus on that.
