[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 2886229, member: 26077"] The biggest issue you have is the short action. There are a ton of .473 head, heavy hitters, like the 9.3x62 or 400 Whelen but you need a long action for them. Also, it is not really feasible to load the 308 or 30-06 case to larger than 40 caliber or you end up with pretty much a straight wall case that usually gives you extraction issues, and no rim and little shoulder to headspace on.
