Whatever makes you happy, but you will be basically re-creating the .257 Roberts in a different shape, just as the 7mm-08 is a "new & improved" version of the 7x57mm.
Whats improved about a loss of powder capacity and therefore velocity?
257 Bob and 257 AI are incredible, whether through a short, intermediate, or standard length action.
7x57 is the ultimate in versatility.
...all wildcats are not really logical. Don't let that stop you...."cause I can" is enough reason for a rifle looney!!!!
Amen there.
I have a 270 WCF barrel laying around that I may have chambered to 270-308 Win just because. Dumb considering the 7-08 Rem, but sounds interesting...
