What about the 7mm Weatherby Magnum? Would that be a less expensive mod, or would you just have to re-barrel anyway? If nothing else, at least you'd be able to use whatever 7mm bullets you have for reloading. Then there are other 7mm cartridges as well, RUM, STW etc.

I'm really curious as to why this 'issue' with the 7mm RM appears to exist in the first place.
