[QUOTE="Idaho Trecker, post: 1206649, member: 67706"] I know there have been a few mentions/suggestions of a 300 SS being built and the first one will be delivered to me on Tuesday. After alot of talks with Rich (elkaholic) and Rhian (bigngreen) I was given the opportunity to have the first one cut to do some initial testing. Rich sure has some great designs and I am grateful to be able to help out in some testing. Rhian has also been first class to work with and is very fast and helpful with any questions I have had on his end. Thanks Rich and Rhian!!! Here are my build components: Tikka T3 action B&C M40 stock 28" 1:10 Brux, Rem Varmint contour (turned down by Rhian to mate up to Tikka) topped with Talley ringmounts holding a Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14x50 I may have Rhian put a 3 port Mini-Mag Muscle brake on it at a later date Rich had the reamer made to accommodate a 215 Berger at 3.035". He also has a new twist with a special throater. To start off we decided to cut a standard throat to get some baseline numbers. Once that is done I'll send it back to Rhian to cut the new throat in it (unless it shoots so incredible that I dont want to have it done). Rich is anticipating being able to push the 215 around 2900-3000 fps. To start with I'll be shooting some 215 Bergers, 208 A-Max, 208 ELD-M, and 200 ELD-X. Some powders we are thinking about using will include RL 26, RL 23, RL 17, and possibly some IMR 4451. I'll get some pictures up once I get it. [/QUOTE]
