I am trying to simplify my caliber assortment of all hunting rifles. I want a 30-06 for my Handi to go with my Savage, but would really like the 26" length. Then I'll have 223, 30-06, and 375 Win (not a Handi).
My thought is to get a 25-06 or 280 and ream it to 30-06, BUT both appear to be longer then the 30-06 case and might preclude me from using factory brass in it which could REALLY complicate matters if both rifles were taken. Getting ammo confused would almost be a certainty.
The 26" is not a HAVE TO, but it looks a LOT better than the 22". I know the 280 is a good round but to ME the 30-06 is better. Not wanting to start a war but want to stay with the 30-06. Any suggestions?
