If you don't need heavier bullets, a 6.5x57 would be a great choice with a bit of extra cool added.


I love my 7mm Mauser Featherweight.. and it gets out in the field a lot..

but my favorite round is the 6.5 x 57 I did one on a Model 70 action... went a little overboard in over thinking it..
did a 28 inch Pac Nor barrel, in a heavy magnum contour, 1 in 8 twist..done by Kevin Wyatt...

It ain't light but it sure is accurate...even waaaay out there...
