OK, appreciate any thoughts where I am on this. Doing with reasonable cost for average guy that is retired and BUDGET is always up front. I have Wheeler receiver wrench and vise from recent Savage barrel swap which went perfect.
Have at it!
- 700 SS SA 300WSM action from SPS rifle in hand
- Timney trigger already installed
- Have Magpul 700 SA hunter stock with MGW AICS mag that has 2.900 max COAL capability = 0.035 - 0.060 off lands with most bullets I shoot which can be a limiting factor but the SA is what I have.
- How difficult is it to remove Remington barrel that is 10 years old?
- Anybody have any ideas to help out mag limitation other than shortening up the throat? The receiver feed ramp is all part of the issue so I don't want to get into major machining that I cannot do. The COAL versus the CBTO will always be a problem if I want to get near lands so I can live with it if I have to. Some of the really accurate loads I have run actually quite a bit shorted than the 2.900 COAL anyway.
- Looking to go with Sendero contour, 1:10 and 25 or 26" TBD. Challenge the barrel length and why? I already have a Sendero 300WM that is a heavyweight shooter so not looking to shoot heavyweights so the throat will be one of the thoughts to manage within the COAL mag limits. The max bullet will likely be 200 and really looking to shoot 180-200 grains with it. I really like the 180AB and 200AB so I may measure up for the 200AB as the throat spec. Never shot the 190LRAB so that may be another look see. I prefer bonded bullets which is just the way it is. I have not had much luck with the 200ELDX thought the 178ELDX shot well. Kind of interested in new Speer Impact higher BC hunting 190 gr bullet that is out.

- I know I need go/no go but thought maybe could "rent" set from someone on forum?
- Once I have the details down should I just send it off to someone?
Have at it!
