[QUOTE="BoatTail, post: 1561443, member: 74670"] As planned, I looked at the magazine compatibility with the Remington 700 magnum action and these cartridges. The 700 magazine measures ~3.681”. Hopefully some of you can provide measurements for other actions. I had previous made or discovered in other forums the following cartridge COAL’s: [ATTACH=full]120013[/ATTACH] The 0.2328 freebore used above comes from the SAAMI 300 PRC Reamer throat dimensions. The 300 SI COAL comes from[B] elkaholic [/B]in one of the other forums. He built a 300 PRS Sherman Improved. He has a lot of good data on the 300 PRC SI. Apparently, the 300 PRC SI reamer was designed with a long freebore than the SAAMI 300 PRC version. From the above information it looks like the all of the above cartridge’s with the exception of the 300 PRC SI. To do a build on it with the Remington action and the 300 PRC SI it will require an Wyatt Extended well magazine which requires the gunsmith to open up the bottom of the action for the longer magazine box and bottom metal. I had to do the same thing with the 270 WSM build as well as I wanted a longer COAL which also would not fit in the Short Action Remington 700. If I go with the 300 PRC SI I will be looking for a custom action with a longer magazine that does not need modified. I also looked at H2O capacity. I pulled measurements from members comments on this site, who did the measurements. I believe all the measurements were to the top of the case. [ATTACH=full]120015[/ATTACH] What I realized is this isn’t very scientific. To do I right we would have to have the same person do all the measurements with the same process. It’s probably better just to say the 30 Nosler and 300 PRC are likely almost identical in case capacity and the 30-28 Nosler and 300 PRC SI are within a couple grains. Next I’ll look at case forming processes and reamers. [/QUOTE]
