[QUOTE="arch408, post: 2475900, member: 59036"] I would go with a .280 AI, or even better, a 7mm Gibbs if I wouldn’t mind case forming brass. I have a .30 Gibbs and it has identical ballistics to the 30 caliber short mags and it has the advantage of one more round in the magazine. Install a Wyatt’s box, and have a custom reamer or necker/throater made so you could seat the 168gr. bullets base to the neck/shoulder junction to give you minimum bullet clearance and you could take full advantage of case capacity. I would have the reamer ground so as to have .001” bullet clearance in the throat. Hmmm, I have a 26 inch Helix carbon fiber barrel just laying around that I think I just found a home for! [/QUOTE]
