Looks like you and your Son are going to have some fun with the 06 on the heavy barrel.
<br>
<br>Before I would rechamber to something bigger, I would play with the 06 for awhile. The 30 Gibbs or 06 Ackley would add powder capacity to the 06 case after you Improved it.
<br>
<br>Try the 168 Gr and the 175 gr Sierra Match Kings in it and see how it does with the H4350 and also the H4831 Powders. I prefer the H4831 in mine.
<br>
<br>You will be surprised as to how well that rifle might shoot (used gun) if it hasn't had a lot of rounds through it already.
<br>
<br>Seat the bullet about .010" off the lands and see how your accuracy is. You can seat them so they just touch the rifling and that may be better.
<br>
<br>Good luck to you and the new "Baby".
<br>
