Let me be the first to say 300 WM. 
I would get the reamer specs from Broz. He uses a longer throat to seat the 215 Bergers out some.
10 twist?

If it is a long action I would go for a 7-.300 Weatherby. Kicks less than the .300 and does the same job down range. I used three of them and would not hesitate to use one again.

Thats exactly what I did; and I could not be happier with the way my 300 WM turned out. 3000 fps with a 215 is awesome. 26" Brux on a Borden timberline action.

Let me be the first, and most-likely the only person to say .300 Ackley Magnum.

That'd be quit a trick, turning a .30Cal into a 7mm.........

Is your action a LA or SA? A std .473 bolt face or a magnum bolt face? Pleanty throwing suggestions out, without knowing enough about the action to make a good suggestion......

What ballernut said.
Second choice 7STW
Second choice 7STW
That's going to be hard to do since it's a 30 cal.

I don't understand how people are missing the fact that he's already bought the barrel and it's a .30 cal barrel.
I was told he might could take it back to Douglas and they could run it through their top-secret bore tightening machine and get them to take it down one size to 7mm. They can't go more than 1 size without the bore getting oblong and the barrel length stretching, then they have to charge you for trimming it back down to length.
Maybe they like 7stw so much they don't care if the bullet bounces off the bore once or twice.I don't understand how people are missing the fact that he's already bought the barrel and it's a .30 cal barrel.
