[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 568882, member: 13833"] I've decided to chamber my new build in a modified version of the 30/375. The standard version has only a .253" neck so I'm having a reamer built to better fit my needs. It will have a .320" neck to better accomodate my 225 grain SXR (738 b.c.) The throat will also be longer so as not to reduce the case capacity. The body taper will be less and the shoulder will be changed to 40 degrees. With the body blown out and the 40 degree shoulder, case capacity should remain close to the original even though the shoulder is bumped back. I am estimating 93 grains. The coal of the 225 grainer seated to the lands, will be approx. 3.790" so it will work in a Wyatt box. MV in a 28" barrel should easily reach 2900'. Some of you have expressed interest in this round, so the reamer may be available when I get it. Hornady will be making the dies and they are only about 8-10 weeks out now on their custom stuff.........Rich [/QUOTE]
