[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 171588, member: 4785"] [b]Action[/b] Hi What action are you looking at? Find a gunsmith with a reamer. This is important as the extra cost off the reamer makes the costs excessive. Now for does Hornady sells custom dies to your specifications. They will need the reamer print. If ypu go on the 308 based case max the capacity out ypu need at least .006" body taper and any shoulder angle up to 60 degree's. You can do some things to increase capacity Norma cases and RWS cases have a larger capacity. Good Luck you can use any 308 based action and for your barrel can be any twist from 7.5 up to 76 twist in 1/4" increments of your choice like a 8.75 twist or 9 twist. Make sure it will stabalize ypure heaviest projectiles you're going to use. Make the loaded round 2.8" to take advantage of any detachable mag systems if you are looking for an internal magazine you can go to a 3" loaded length with a Wyats extended mag bog this will give you more case capacity. If you use Norma 308 cases and Max out the capacity in a 28" barrel and a 3" OAL you should achieve 3100fps with H1000. Good Luck Cheers Bill Australia [/QUOTE]
