[QUOTE="David Emerson, post: 1800713, member: 112579"] I would stay away from the 6.5x300wby. I have built many 28.s and all have been incredible. But I did change the reamer in the throat. Shortened the freebore by .030 and changed from a 3 degree to a 1 1/2 degree throat. A 3 degree is like slamming a bullet into a wall. Even in a 3.4 inch box and a long jump all these rifles have shot .250 or less. A customer sent me a picture of a 3 shot group at 300 yards shot with full house loads with 175 nosler partitions. All I have built I have used 3 groove lilja or 4 groove brux barrels. 26 or 27 inch. I took one to Africa along with a 375. I should have left the 375 at home. Eland were one shot and none went over 10 steps. That is a big animal. lol When I first got there a kudu was high on a mountain. Maybe 350. But it was steep. I asked the guide. Is it a good one. Yesss it is. Whack. After he said if you pull that again you are done.:p I love the 28. For hunting big game. Moose, elk. 175 nosler partitions. The long range bullets are too soft. Another good one is the 7mm practical. Basically a reborn 7mm mashburn but on the 300 win mag case. Very easy. Run a case in the die and presto. Developed in new zeeland. ballistic studies.com or just google 7mm practical and read. I took that design and necked it 6.5. 10 grains less powder and more or equal speed than 26 nosler or 6.5x300wea.
