[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1179921, member: 48043"] 'aint gonna stay supersonic to 1K with a 20" pipe bro if it's in 308, at least from what guys I talk to that shoot the little 30 are saying. likely to have around a #4 taper at the stated weight, but fatter is better... I like a #5, but I may well be going light Palma for my next build, especially if a 30" barrel is going on the rifle. I just talked to my 'smith today to get the ball rolling on tearing down my lh bdl 300rum. I'm leaning towards a 338 rum or edge but need to weigh my options as getting brass for a new pipe IS a consideration. I'll have around $600 (assuming 27" barrel-- 30" will be a bit more) in this including a trigger and new recoil lug if I don't buy a stock and stay with the 338rum so I don't need custom dies. He's going to dig into things a bit and we'll get a barrel, recoil lug, and reamer ordered when we have our ducks in a row and I have some jingle in my pocket. The trigger and dies aren't needed until the barreled action is ready to be fitted to the stock and you are getting her ready to be fired. I may change things up a bit though and go 375 rum with a 32" pipe...:D Half the fun of putting a semi custom or full custom together is picking the right cartridge for the game you play. [/QUOTE]
