[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 1017750, member: 2460"] save yourself all the trouble and open up the boltface a bit and run with the 300 Norma Mag, Forster has factory made dies, brass is available from Norma and Jamison, and plenty of case capacity for the 230 gr bullets, no other case can match it in powder capacity other than the 300 RUM and 30-378 WBY, you can also get the Accurate Mag bottom metal and use their staggered 6 round mags or the AICS cip length 5 round mags, that is the route I went except I developed an "improved" wildcat on the 300 Norma and it duplicates 300 RUM ballistics, most important is the fact that the 300 Norma Magnum has proven to be extremely accurate out to 2000 yards, None of the smaller cases can come close to it's performance. It is the perfect balance in case capacity / heavy long bullets = performance ! If you load the 300 RUM to run in the aics detachable mags you will have to seat the 230 gr bullet almost past the ogive and cram it into powder space, run with the 300 Norma Mag.. "It's the right thing to do " ! [/QUOTE]
