[QUOTE="brentc, post: 880689, member: 16938"] 3000 is asking for too much with a 26" 300 WSM and a 210/215. Heck, that's a lot to ask from a similarly equipped a 300 WM. That being said, you can push a 200 grain AB at 2900, and a 210 at around 2850 without a lot of trouble. I've driven the 210s at 2830 out of a 24" tube with a stout charge of 7828ssc. If you're planning to work with 215s you may want to consider building it on a long action. The nose on the 215 is significantly longer than the 210 and might cause COAL problems for magazine feed depending on which action you use. [/QUOTE]
