[QUOTE="Kmccord, post: 1976175, member: 99039"] I know you mentioned 300 WM, but I wouldn't discount going 300 PRC. The PRC was built to spec for shooting the 200 + gr pills, to get to the BC a 7mm 180gr will have in a 30 cal you need to be in the 200+ grain bullets. I know people will say, not enough factory ammo or brass, well, that is today, it is a new cartridge and like the Creedmoor was in the beginning, others will make brass and ammo. This is just my .02, I don't own a 30 cal, when I had my Custom rifle built, I wanted a 30, but did not like the BC of the bullets, I ended up going with a 28 Nosler, gave me the HP needed to push the 180 and 195 weight class. Another option you may want to consider, but no factory ammo, reloads only is a 300 Norma Improved, Ryan Pierce makes those that are shooting lights out and are easy on the barrel with his loads. Take a look at his website, he has rifles for sale and will build to your spec. [/QUOTE]
