[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 2640868, member: 14204"] Propelling a 300-grainer at 3000 FPS is no small feat, and a .338 LMI is capable out of a 26"+ barrel. However, it will need a 4.00" COAL and specially throated for the bullet you will use to take advantage of those long/high BC bullets. Due to the COAL requirement, I went with .338 NMI (my reamer design) over .338 LMI.

I do not have a 300-grainer 3000 FPS requirement, but I will safely push the 250/275/300 as fast as possible. Weight will be <12 lbs hunt-ready and suppressed. Good luck with your project.
