What is the biggest caliber bullet I can stuff into a 30.06 case? I've been given an old 30.06 Savage. And while the action on this rifle is strong, the barrel is horribly pitted. If I keep the rifle I'll have to rebarrel it, and -since I've never been keen on 30.06- I'm wondering about doing something new, and I'm looking here for some insight.
I'd like to cut a 30.06 case off at the shoulder and essentially make a straight-walled cartridge. What is the largest caliber bullet that would fit into such a case? How would such a cartridge headspace in a chamber? From the mouth of the case, like an pistol cartridge?
Thanks in advance.
