[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 203772, member: 10"] My original comment and opinion of this chambering has not changed in any way. I still think there is a real risk of these rounds getting into the wrong gun. That said, if done the way Richard recommends, in his rifles, I have no problem. That "chance" just scares me. Personally, as far as the use of the rifle, in my neck of the woods, there is not a high volume of varminting targets, we mostly shoot chuck at long range and there are not alot of them. If you get 10-15 shots a day you would be having a crazy day here in Montana, at least in my area. Because of that, this would not be that big of a deal to live with the case prep and such. For high volume varmint hunting, I see no practical use for it but to each their own. I to agree, that moving the shoulder forward would prevent chambering in a 300 WSM factory rifle but its really a pain in the rear to relocate a shoulder unless your necking the case down to start with. The case shoulder could simply be improved to a 38 or 40 degree angle and get the same job done, standard 300 WSM rounds could be chambered and fired for fireforming loads or in a pinch if needed. Still, I was not the designer so that is not my call, it would totally eliminate my concerns however that a high pressure load could be chambered in a 300 WSM factory rifle. I am not promoting the chambering in any way, I simply wanted some straight factual information and Richard offered that and he is to be commended for that. He has nothing to hide, is not trying to blow smoke up anyones pant leg. His 300 Varminter is what it is and nothing magical as some have made claims at times. It was an informational post only.
