[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 637347, member: 13833"] If you change your mind about custom dies etc., you might want to consider my new 300 cartridge (30/375 S.I.) It requires minimal fireforming after sizing down the parent brass (375 Ruger). It is true that you would have to open the boltface but that is a small expense when you are having it rechambered anyway. The 30/375 advantages are the following IMO: 1. available beltless brass 2. 9 % capacity increase over 300 WM 3. far better barrel life than 300 RUM 4. fits in std. magazine Mine is presently being chambered so I don't have exact data as yet, but I am expecting 3100'+ with the 215 berger out of a 28" barrel. There are a lot of us that think the 95 gr. case capacity is just about the perfect balance for a .308" for velocity vs barrel life. I am expecting to duplicate Dakota ballistics, with the way its throated, and have far cheaper brass........Rich [/QUOTE]
