If you say; "well hell, I'll just buy another rifle."
In that case, then just buy any NEW cartridge.
If you reload, then why not perfect a load for a classic cartridge.
.270 Win. or 7MM RM would be my choice.
BTW - if you enjoyed the contact while you were playing hockey, you'll laugh at the recoil from these calibers.
If you have shot 3" or 3.5" shells out of a 12 gauge, you got nothing to be concerned about !!!
