[QUOTE="BoatTail, post: 1559890, member: 74670"] I think I'm discarding the 30 Nosler and the 300 PRC since I don't think they can reach 3125 to 3150 fps with the 212 gr Hornady ELD-X that I'm looking for out of a 28" barrel. This leaves the 300 PRC SI and 30-28 Nosler wildcats as the two cartridges I'm looking at for this build. I don't know the throat dimensions of the 300 PRC SI but since it's a wildcat I'm assuming it can be what ever the builder wants it to be. Let's assume it is the same as the SAAMI version of the 300 PRC which has a Neck diameter of 0.342, a Lead diameter of 0.3088 and a Freebore of 0.2328. My calculations put the COAL for the 300 PRC SI with the above throat dimensions and a 15 thousands jump to the lands at 3.6531" using the 212 gr Hornady ELD-X bullet. We will used the same throat dimensions for the 30-28 Nosler wildcat which puts it's COAL at 3.6631" with the 212 gr Hornady ELD-X bullet. Next I look at magazine box dimension compatibility and Case H2O capacity. [/QUOTE]
