[QUOTE="Powerstroke73, post: 1051800, member: 88582"] New guy here:) I have an old Remington 700 in 300 win mag that just sits in the safe for the most part. Here's what I want to do: true and time action, ptg one piece spiral fluted bolt (might as well since action is being trued) Jewell trigger, badger m5 DBM, Krieger #17 heavy varmint finished to 1" dia. at muzzle 4groove 28" long 1-10 twist, McMillan a5 or a4 stock and either loopy or nightforce optics. I'm just kinda spit ballin this setup, so if y'all have better ideas let me hear them. I like the idea of using the 215gr and 230gr bergers, but I'd also like to experiment with lighter weight bullets too. So, how do I determine the length the throat needs to be? Badger states that the maximum oacl for the 300 mag magazines is 3.653". So, would the throat need to be cut to exactly 3.653", longer or shorter? What I'm trying to ask is, is there a generic length that would accomodate all length and weight bullets or do i need to pick one bullet and have the throat cut for that one bullet? I'm new to reloading if you couldn't tell haha. So, if y'all could shed some light on this subject I'd really appreciate it. Thanks gun) [/QUOTE]
