What is the throat length with the cip mags? I have one just about done on a Bat tac wearing a 30 inch Bart with cip mags. Just curious what yours was.
Would a .200 freebore be to short for the 230 bergers. Would also like to run the 215 possibly. My understanding is around 230 is good but would .030 short make a lot of difference with a improved norma.
Thanks Doug
I have a brand new BigHorn Sporter long action with mag bolt face. This has the built in Recoil lug and has 8-40 scope base screws also comes with bighorns tac knob. I will also be including a 30 moa SS scope base made by Murphy Precision. This will need to be a FFL to FFl transfer I will cover...
I really wanted a 300 norma but I'm un sure that my action can be modified to the corect rim size. I was trying to figure out what wildcat I could do to give just a little more velocity than the 300 win mag I had intended on building. That why I was asking about just necking down the 338 Rum it...
The reason for the 30 cal is I have all the parts for it. I was planing on making a 300 win mag but thought if I could gain a little I would assumeing it's not to much trouble.
How hard is it to neck up brass? Would this need to be done in two or three stages and then neck turn. I was think about the 26 nosler would be just about what I'm after but thought it might be difficult to expand the necks that much. I would really like to hear about how you go about that...
I have a badger m5 with ai cip mags that I'm using for this gun. Just trying to find a case that will fit in 3.76 and feed reliable.
The 300 ackley.
Could it be loaded down to 3.75 over all coal and still acheive 2900+ with the 230 bergers. This gun will where a long barrel 28-30.
I'm trying to figure out how to build a big 30 cal to run the 230 berger hyb on a standard long action and mag feed it. I was planing on building a 300 win mag but don't think I'll achieve the velocity I would like to get them around 2900.
So I got to thinking about a 300 Rum but have...
