@405Grain- Thanks for the additional information
@racepres- I agree with you on the factory ammo. I intend on using the soft cast 200gr style hollow points and maybe the accurate 240gr at no where near max velocity and/or pressure. If I can find a medium velocity load that also expands a hollow point then that would be perfect but I am happy with solids. These small Florida deer wouldn't know the difference between 35 Rem or whelen when hit lol. I am not in any way trying to make this rifle into something it isn't such as a large game rifle. That is what my weatherby is for. If this was a 98K then that might be different.
As far as all of the suggestions on calibers and such for a rebarrel I do appreciate the suggestions and will consider many of these options if it comes down to it. I want to see IF this rifle is safe to fire in it's current cartridge and make changes as necessary. I do have my reservations concerning the strength of the action even though I love swedish mausers and will proceed with caution. Seeing that it has handled factory loads in the past without any issues it does give me enough reassurance that mild to medium cast loads "may" be safe in it. Again, this is a spare rifle that will not see a ton of range time and I do not have any issue shelving it until later if major changes need to be made. I intend to use my 358 win with a 1 in 12 twist for cast boolits and the occasional jwords for almost everything.
