Thank you for the replies. If I do end up rebarreling I will for sure take it to someone else who has the experience and machine tools necessary. As far as cartridges to rebarrel for, I have actually considered 25-06, as well as 7x57 and even 6.5 swede. I also considered 338-06 as I plan to, one day within the next few years, hunt black bear and elk. In fact, does anyone know how 8mm06 with stout loads compares to 338-06? I've heard, and my speer manual confirms, that the 06 version has very little if any gain over the 8x57. Does anyone load for the 8mm06 that can say otherwise? Also I've priced renting a reamer and buying gages so I have a good Idea what I'm in for there. Thanks again and keep the info coming.
