... I have a .30-'06 Mauser or a Sako L579 action that I **could** convert to a straight-wall cartridge for Ohio deer hunting, say like the 444 Rimless. I like the idea of something that I could use published 444 Marlin load data for. I don't know what would be an appropriate cartridge in the Sako; just toying with the idea at this point. A short action Remington 700 in 350 Legend is also a possibility. I don't care for the synthetic stocked factory rifles in 350 Legend and 450 Bushmaster. Having to worry about how effectively a blown-out .30-'06 0r .308 case headspaces on the case mouth would be another drawback.
Or maybe I should just forget it and use my Ruger 77/357?
