In the middle of my build. Got my X-caliber 26" on the way.... purchased a stainless BDL action.... so who has tried what? And what worked best for you?

I haven't tried anything yet as I'm getting mine put together now. Starting with factory anmo. Precision hunter with the 220 eldx. Went with a factory take off barrel to see if the chambering is for me. If I like it ill spring for a good barrel and dies. If its too much the action and stock will end up with a 28 Nosler barrel. Hoping for a mid weight hammer. No more m24 contours and 15lb rifles for me.
 
I just picked up a old Remington action . I'm thinking about a 28" 1/9 twist Proof and a light Mcmillian Game hunter . Timney or a Trigger tech . I built a few 338 Carbons and just love them .
I'm going to run the 230 bergers in the 300 rum .
Good luck and keep us posted !
Here is the 338 Edge I'm hunting with this fall , it was Amazing on my Spring Bear hunt . My wife and Son both use stock 300 Rums .

My current hunting rifle is a 300 win equipped with a H.S. precision stock, nightforce and M24 profile Hart barrel and Shawn Thomson brake so I know exactly what you are saying. Even though it's a bitch to pack, it's also the smoothest shooting platform I've ever had. I chose the sendero profile for the RUM build. Also had it dimpled.... Maybe save a pound or two but mostly want the stability I'm used to.

I'm working up a 210 Nosler ABLR load for my RUM. Due to short barrel life this will only be used for long range elk and may take it to a mile just for fun.

Everything else I shoot with my 7Mag & 168 ABLRs.
