30 SM with the 245 EOL

[elkaholic]

Thanks. Sound like a real winner.

Its becoming very popular with ADG head stamped brass. Shoots bugholes with Hornady factory ammo too.

What kind of coal are you looking at with the 245's. A 30 SM is one of next on my list of builds just putting together info. Thanks

Can't wait till mine is finished. 26" proof, pierce ti action.
Was looking at 230 atip and hammer 214.
Should really be able to launch those.

84.8 ran 3021. Did not get a read on 85 but it had a slight ejector mark.

For the ignorant, please forgive me:

300 prc factory loads can be fired out of a 30sm chamber?

Where can I get a 30sm reamer?

30sm can accurately fire 245eol's @3000fps out of what twist barrel?

Would a 28" or 30" proof barrel be beneficial here?

This might be my dream 30cal!

Thanks Brice

Unbelievable outstanding awesome

Sold my last 30 magnum 10 years ago. Don't own anything magnum at this point but when the 30 prc came out and I read up on it, I've been looking at every since! You guys are really fanning the flame with this thread. That group with the prc rockwallraider posted about seals the deal. Fortunately I have a 6 creed on order so I can think about this a bit.

Yes, you can fire factory prc factory ammo very accurately.
The longer barrels will help, to a point.
We need to test more with the 245's to find accuracy nodes but with a 30", I would not be at all surprised to find accuracy at 3000'.
A 9 twist will work well. Some folks are building 8 twist for very long bullets.
You can purchase Reamers, dies, and head stamped brass from my website at:

Call if you have questions......Rich
