[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 1617303, member: 11717"] I am familiar with the Vanguards. It's a good action but a little on the small size for heavy Long Range bullets in the mag. Your mag box is 3.50". I agree that a 215 Berger is a good choice for the 300 Wby round but the case is 2.85 inches long and the 215 is 1.598" meaning that you will have to bury 1" of bullet into your case. If you rechamber to 30 Nosler, slightly larger in case capacity with a case length 2.556, you will be able to put .9" of the bullet out with .6 " in. The 300 Blazer is 2.528 with the same capacity as the Wby. With that rifle cal combo, I would recommend a 10 twist [/QUOTE]
