These calibers should work for sure.
6mm PPC
6mm BR
7mm BR
6X47 Lapua
6.5X47 Lapua
22-250
250 Savage/250-3000
300 Savage
6.5 Creedmoor
243 Win.
6mm Rem./244 Rem.
260 Rem.
7mm-08
308 Win.
358 Win.
257 Roberts
6.5/284
284 Winchester
220 Swift
225 Winchester
450 Bushmaster
375 SOCOM
458 SOCOM
45 Raptor

These calibers likely can be made to work with some minor mods.

These the rim diameter is below .473"
6.8 SPC
30 Rem.
35 Rem.
6.5 Grendel
50 Beowulf

Then there would be a very long list of wildcat calibers. That would take months of research to come up with maybe 60% of those calibers.

SA/.473bf, Anything from the families based off 250 savage and 308win.

Keep in mind the 284win and its kin will likely need a long action with modern bullets.

What are you wanting to use the rifle for primarily? Do you reload?
If you don’t reload, stick to the following:
6.5 Creedmoor
6 Creedmoor
243
308
7-08
260

If you reload, 6GT or 6 Dasher

243 Ackley Improved, just had one rebarreled. IMR4350 and a 95gr Berger bullet, makes for a screamer
