Why not get a 30-338 or a 300 Win? Same bullet more engine! AND THE RIFLE WILL BE LIGHTER. Less steel in bbl and one less cartridge in the magazine.

Who says we can only have one .30 cal? If you already have a .473 boltface action the 06AI is a reasonable facsimile of a 300WM and no belt.

I like more than 1500 rounds down a tube before its completely shot out. 75+ grains of powder in a .30 caliber tube is inefficient and since I don't need or want 1k yard range capability it is utterly pointless in my case. That being said.... .308 Norma Magnum - the Swedes got it right before anyone else.
