[QUOTE="marksman1941, post: 2928071, member: 68542"] I’m not sure what you mean by clean a 308 chamber? In theory you should be able to load up or down as much as you like. A 300gr at 2250fps gives something like 3,300 ftlbs of muzzle energy which is a wallop (30/06 is usually around 3,000). A longer barrel may gain you some more speed. But, if you load some of the bullets built for the 375 winchester or some slower calibers and drop your velocity a bit, you could probably make a relatively gently rifle out of it. I expect I’ll go whatever route JES is able to bore for me, and figure out the dies after. [/QUOTE]
