If you want to spend a few bucks, you might want to consider renting a finishing reamer and converting it to .22 K Hornet. Biggest benefit is increased case life for reloaders, plus a slight increase in velocity. I have a the same rifle in .270 Win and .357 Magnum. I'm in the process of converting the .357 to .357 Rem Max, and have already done the graybeards trigger job. Well worth the time if you are good with your hands. My .270 barrel puts 5 rounds in 1/2 in at 100yds, and it's not even a challenge. Love it.
