I have a FN Mauser Sportified that I inherited with a dark nasty bore in 30-06. I want to rebarrel and refinish the entire rifle. But I am up in the air about what cartridge to choose. I love big bore handguns (460s&w is favorite) and I am considering going big with the Mauser like a 416 Taylor or Rigby. That require a lot of work to the action to make it so. Also considered going the other direction and chambering for .243w and turn it into a tack driver. Keep in mind I have no real use for either. I hunt with a 30-06 pump and I dont have plans to go to africa. Its really a matter of going to the range and shooting a box of cannon rounds or several boxes of a light round like 243.
Help me choose. Ammo price is no concern, I will reload either.
