[QUOTE="nkyshooter, post: 2035487, member: 83787"] Thanks all for the inputs ... much appreciated. For what it is worth, while I don't believe it is completely insignificant, I don't think the barrel diameter forward of the action and the barrel nut forward of the action are the areas of greatest concern for me ... all pressure signs I've ever witnessed/experienced all occurred at or near the primer of the case (flattened/cratered primers, primers blown out of pockets, shiny ejector marks, difficulty lifting bolt due to increased pressure at bolt face pushing lugs back against the receiver) If there is a 'smith that has professional expertise on this - please don't hesitate to weigh in ... For now ... I am thinking I am going to give it a go with the 30SM and the Small Shank Long Action. This build is what I plan to use for my personal journey to connect with a 5 gallon bucket at 1 mile. Current build plan is: [INDENT][LIST] [*]Savage small shank long action with magnum boltface [*]Accutrigger with replacement target spring (1-3 lbs) [*]24" or 26" heavy 1:8 twist barrel - .850" at muzzle - 5/8x24 threaded - hope to nitride [*]Chambered for 30 Sherman Magnum (thanks [USER=13833]@elkaholic[/USER] ) [*]Ross Schuler 4 port brake [*]Precision ground 1/4" recoil lug [*]Precision ground/squared barrel nut [*]HS Precision composite stock with aluminum bedding block [*]3.850 Savage/MDT factory bottom metal from 110 FCP HS 338 Lapua [*]3.850 CIP .300WM/300PRC single stack magazine [*]EGW 20 MOA picatinny rail [*]SWFA 5-20 MilQuad (rings TBD - have a couple sets laying around) [*]100 pcs Hornady once fired 300 prc [*]Lee Precision 300 winmag neck collet die for neck sizing (proven works perfectly on 300PRC) [*]Lee Precision 300 winmag dead length bullet seater (proven works perfectly on 300PRC) [*]Full length sizing die - TBD [/LIST][/INDENT] Thanks again for the inputs fellas ... t [/QUOTE]
