I'm on my second 300 RUM barrel, first was a sendero this one is a sendero contour Hart at 27 1/2". Both have been best with a 210 VLD at 3060FPS. Retumbo was the magic sauce in the first barrel and H1000 is now my main squeeze. This is in Norma and Nosler brass with federal LRM match primers.
I voted 7mm Mag only because you didn't list P.O. Ackleys finest work and Gods gift to shooters, 280AI!
My current tally with an MCR built 280ai hurling 180gr VLD H is 2 Elk, 1 Black bear, 5 Antelope, 14 Whitetail, 30some coyotes.
Ranges from 15yds. to 564yds.
It's an 11lb. rifle loaded...
Not to start an argument but I'll throw a few points out.
We arent looking for 700 sps rifles in this forum, and when you get into nosler, kimber etc you do have factory rifles.
There is factory ammo available and its not hard to fire form either
Twist rates are whatever you want in a custom...
I had a 280AI built for several reasons. I wanted to get into the neighborhood of 7 mag performance with dealing with a belted case. I wanted to shoot the 180gr. VLD. I wanted good brass life.
I got all of this in spades and then some! I had Kevin Cram throat the barrel for max case...

This is a petition to repeal the NFA of 1934. If nothing else, it provides a strong starting point.
It was amazing how the antelope seemed to know the lines....we saw multiple herds within 50-100yds of being on public ground that just never crossed the line. We did have multiple opportunities though and brought 2 home...not bad for a couple hicks from Pennsylvania. Funny occurence while we...
Well gents, the trip was a success! Not a smashing success, but a success none the less.
We got into Buffalo Sunday the 9th late and got a hotel for the night after scouting a couple campsites. Figured starting fresh in the morning was a better option than setting up camp in the dark...
I only share this now that mine is already on order and about to go on form 3.
Get yourself a Thunderbeast Ultra series can.
You can get them in 5-7-9inch varieties and .223 6.5 and .308 flavors along with a few color options.
They're rated to 300RUM in a titanium monocore can with...
We're pretty squared away for 4 season camping...we usually camp a few days in late November for black bear in Hickory Creek Wilderness in NW PA. As far as getting the vehicle around, I think we're good there as well...
Anyone have a particular sporting goods supplier that they recommend (...
We actually bought our 16 tags as leftovers. We put in the draw for 27, 23, 113 and didn't get tags in the draw. I had been checking out 16 as well so when they were available in the leftovers it was an easy choice.
Now we just need to get the game plan finalized as to whether or not it...
