[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 136176, member: 2736"] Jimmy There are lots of great 30 magnums available and velocity is the major difference. For all out speed with big bullets the 30/378 is hard to beat with the 300 rum next and then the 300weatherby to the 300 win mag. There are some wildcats mixed in but these require special loading and brass may be hard to find or expensive. The radius shoulders are not a problem.I have built quite a few weatherbys and the chamber fit and head space are the most important. All weatherbys have lots of freebore so they can be loaded very hot this also does not seem to be a problem if the chamber and headspace are tight. All of the big weatherbys have shot under a 1/2 moa and the best was a 30/378 that shot a .092 5 shot group @ 100yrds with a 200gr noz partition. The 300 rum has a good reputation for accuracy and doesent have a belt allowing it to be used with a standard mag bolt face like the win mag and the 300weatherby. With any 30 mag I recomend a heavy sporter barrel or larger( #5,#6 or a #7 taper unless you install a break.)at least 26"to 28" long.
