Actually, I have been throwing an idea around in my head for a while, and that is to simply get the 06' barrel re-bored to .35 caliber and do the whelen first. And if I like the round enough, then it may just stay a whelen. But I figure I could go around the custom barrel right now for the norma, while still messing with something new. I do have one hang up, at least to me. When I acquired the rifle it had an 18" 30-06 barrel, and still wears that same length. Would the whelen still perform well out of that length barrel?
