I have a Rem 700 in 338 RUM that I would like to rebarrel to shoot a straight-walled cartridge that would be legal to hunt with in Ohio. If the cartridge would work with the internal magazine, that would be amazing. I am not aware of any cartridges that would fit this bill, so maybe I should just sell the 338RUM.
Humorous backstory: About 20 years ago, I walked into a gun store with my brother. He was a fairly broke college student, but he had enough money in his pocket for that month's rent. He walked to the counter and asked if they had any wood-stocked large-caliber Rem 700s in stock. The clerk chuckled and handed my brother this rifle in 338 RUM. Without hesitation, my brother declared, "I'll take it." I protested, "What will you use that for?" He replied, "What can't I shoot with this?" I don't know how he paid rent that month, but we still have the gun.
