Hello,
I know I have asked or brought up some thoughts about a rebarrel or rechamber future project. My barrel is shot out of my 28 nosler. I only got 700 roonds.
So in continuing to think outside the box of conformity. What about a 300 SAUM. Built on a long action, have a long throat to load the 210 bergers or 215 bergers. I would have a Carbon Six 28 inch barrel. I am sorry for all the questions. So much information here has lead me to want to build a 30 cal for elk 500 and in. I know there are all sorts of calibers that people claim to be good but I am a believer in 30 cal or bigger for elk. I want a dedicated mountain, midrange elk gun that I hunt everything else with. What is the Barrel life like? What performance can I expect?

For elk out to 500, so many choices. For a mag bolt face LA:

In .308":
300SAUM
300WSM
300SS
300MAX
300MEGA
300WM
300PRC
30 Nosler
30-28 Nosler
300 Wby
300RUM

Don't discount a 7mm for elk. 500 is easy for any of the mild to wild 7mm short mags or mags.
