[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 2779606, member: 106514"] Sorry for just getting back. I don't have a drawing. I may ask Manson for one. They had a reamer onhand, but with only like .110" of freebore. It was then a very simple matter of using the same design and only altering the freebore and throat dimensions. It really is just a .264 Win Mag necked down with .250" of freebore. That should handle the 133 and 135gr Bergers nicely. Using a 7.5 twist Brux. With that much freebore, I may have to end up getting a Wyatt cut. The prototype will be in a proven blue printed Remington 700 action with the internals replaced and a sleeved bolt. If it shows promise (i.e. isn't slow and prints groups of 1/2 MOA or better, a 2nd production may be done on an aftermarket action. Takes awhile to get a fast twist .257 bore barrel. Brux only runs them twice a year, I believe is what they told me. For some reason, 1:10 is about all ypu can find on the shelf to order right away. I got the last one in heavy sporter size that Southern Precision had in this configuration. [/QUOTE]
