300 PRC with the right powder (RL26 probably) might get you close, but you may need to step up the charge to a 30 nosler, 30 rum, or 300 norma.
If you are specifically building a rifle to be optimised to one specific bullet, then I would suggest you buy a barrel life supply of those bullets at the same time.As I referenced in a different 30 Nosler post I just ordered some ADG 30N brass. This at least gets me started on the journey. I will take the approach of having the rifle built around a specific cartridge/bullet this time around. If it requires me to order a reamer to optimize the chamber to the cartridge, so be it. I am still learning a great deal from the highly experienced members on the forum. I at least now know what I don't know. I guess I need to make a decision on the bullet. 215 Berger or BD2 205 are peaking my interest.
My LPR is very similar to Cody's except for twist I believe. Mine is a 9. Not sure what Dallas' specs are for sure but I think it's his own reamer. I may be wrong. Very happy with results.What specs are different from Lane Precision in the 30N vs SAAMI? I'm having a 30N built right now but my only request with the chamber was to have them cut .220 freebore. It might be early enough in the game for me to change something if there are tweaks I will benefit from. Thank you.
Very nice! What pill did you settle on? If I go with the longer BD2 205 I would need to go with a 8.5 twist at a minimum. I probably need to give Dallas a call.My LPR is very similar to Cody's except for twist I believe. Mine is a 9. Not sure what Dallas' specs are for sure but I think it's his own reamer.

220 Berger's but finally picked up some 215's. I haven't looked at the length difference between the 199 Hammers and the 205 BD2's, but the Hammers shot well. Just need to tweak the load and finish developement this year.Very nice! What pill did you settle on? If I go with the longer BD2 205 I would need to go with a 8.5 twist at a minimum.

.215 freebore, not sure what else but I think some other things.What specs are different from Lane Precision in the 30N vs SAAMI?

I went with the 9 twist as well. Nice looking rig you've got there.My LPR is very similar to Cody's except for twist I believe. Mine is a 9. Not sure what Dallas' specs are for sure but I think it's his own reamer. I may be wrong. Very happy with results.
