Building 300 WM - question

[BlackSS]

As title says, I'm having a 300 WM built. Lightweight hunting rifle. Will be built on rem 700 with bdl bottom metal. 10 twist 24" barrel.

I intend to shoot 190 Berger or 200 eld-x.

In other rifles I have found best accuracy with this bullet type pushed out towards rifling to minimize jump.

For those that have similar setup:
Do you have issues with cartridges fitting in standard mag with 200 gr bullets if you have say 0.03" jump?

I don't want a single shot, hopefully not an issue but would like to know now so I can change plans if needed.

TIA

This is gonna depend on the reamer used. How much freebore it has.

 

[BlackSS]

Understood, this will be a standard off the shelf reamer / chamber. No extra throat or freebore

I'm .020" off the lands. 3.53" COAL with 200gr ELD-x's, and 190 Berger VLD's(yes, surprisingly, they are within .001" of each other). My rifle is a factory 300WM, Remington Mil-spec ,700 BDL magazine. No problems with fit or feeding.

That is good to hear. Thank you.
