Re-Barrel a .30-06 to ??

Bob,
Thanks for the heads up. I have a couple pounds of the CFE223, that I bought a couple years ago and have yet to ever use it in anything. Just so happens that I just bought some Sierra 225 as well! I will try them asap

Use math to solve the sweats, frets and remove the burden of choice.
300 + 375 = 675.
675/2 = 337.5 ~ 338
Therefore the perfect cartridge to the fill the gap would be the 338-06.

And if you want it fance and german: 8.5x63 Reb

@Fryeguy
Those 225 gn game kings at 2,900 fps turn the Whelen into a 400yard big game round that puts big hurt on things way out yonder
