[QUOTE="Velvet, post: 1866654, member: 103348"] Hello boys. I have the following project in mind, and I'd love to hear your thoughts/opinions, in order to make it happen: Build custom Rifle to consistently hit approximately 1000-1400y, based on .30 cal, and heavy for the caliber bullets: 220-250gn, G1 .700+ BC. It does not matter the final weight of the rifle (target use mainly), nor the budget, nor the barrel life, if I can shoot more than 1000 is enough. I have the following components that I would like to take advantage of: - Trued R700 LA action. - Jewell trigger - PTG one piece bolt, with M16 extractor, custom fited to the action. (. 550 "bolt face). - Badger 20MOA steel pic rail. - Mcmillan Adj. Game Warden. Action bedded perfectly. Has pillars installed. Supports up to 1.25 "OD barrels. I could buy a chassis, but to start I think it would be ok. - BDL hinged floor plate. I could put a DBM if necessary. - more than 1000 220gn ELDX bullets, but that is not conditioning, because I can use them in other rifles. I would like to see them fly at more than 3000ps. - Several pounds of H1000, but that is not conditioning either. The components that I should buy: - Barrel. I thought of a Straight 1.25" OD, 1: 8 Twist, 32"+ long, or the one that arises from the debate ... - and optical, but does not enter this discussion. The great question: Which .30 cartridge to use? - 300win mag ?, I'm bored with this one, but I have Redding custom dies / shell holders and all the case prep tools, etc. - 300 RUM? - 30 Sherman magnum? - 30 Nosler? (.534" case head) - 300 Norma Magnum? (need new bolt, .590 ") - Another 300 ?, I hear you ... Thank you very much for any valuable contribution you can make. Regards V [/QUOTE]
