[QUOTE="marksman1941, post: 2886254, member: 68542"] You are right, for a dangerous game rifle extraction and feeding do need to be reliable. I guess I made assumptions based on the popularity of the 450bm that the cycling issue would be more case design specific and less related to a +40 caliber bullet in a .473 case head shell. And that is the crux of my question really, is there a viable close range dangerous game (west coast dangerous, not grizzly/Africa dangerous) shell in a r700 short action that’s worth chasing down? Or do I rebarrel to a 6.5cm and build a brush gun on a Tikka long action down the road? [/QUOTE]
