[QUOTE=".30cal fanatic, post: 1869086, member: 102910"] I recently had the same requirements for my current build and went with the Norma. I looked at all those cartridges also. Just change the bolt and your GTG. These are the main factors which swayed me towards the Norma. -It easily achieves the speeds your after flinging 225-230 weight bullets at 3000+ -it has amazing brass on offer from factory -doesn’t need to be fireformed in standard version -barrel life is reasonable -reloading for it is relatively easy and it doesn’t seem to be fus -you can buy decent factory ammo -it’s designed to shoot long pills even in SAMMI chamber (just like the 300 PRC.) 300 PRC was a close second due to its availability of factory ammo and modern design however it is a fair bit slower .30 Sherman mag is awesome however I couldn’t be bothered fire forming. (If you are willing to fire form then go the 300 Norma mag improved and you then have the ability to shoot 230’s past 3100 and possibly even get the 250’s humming at 3000 or just under! [/QUOTE]
