[QUOTE="Thebear_78, post: 1231740, member: 1545"] I just made a trade for a McMillan a4 stock, a 30" long broughton 5c 1-11 308 barrel blank in rem varmint contour, and a trued Remington 700 magnum action. I had on hand a Nightforce scope base, Nightforce 30mm rings, and a TIMNEY rem 700 trigger. All I would need to finish this up would be some bottom metal that accepts AICS magazines. I was looking to put together a long range hunting rifle in a 300 mag. I have a 300 RUM in a light weight hunting rifle and the difficulty in finding brass has me looking to one of the other 300s. The tried and true 300 win mag seemed hard to beat. The 30 nosler is intriguing but I wonder if it will feed thru AICS magazines. I also wonder if brass will be available. My only real reservation is that the barrel is 1-11. It seems most of the good long range bullets require a 1-10. In reality I would probably be shooting 200-210gr bullets. The hunting I would be doing would be caribou and moose, with the occasional bear. I would need a bullet tough enough to deal with those bigger animals so the light jacket target/tactical bullets are out. Is it worth making a 1-11 300 win mag? Is the 30 nosler significantly better than a 300 win mag? Anything else I haven't considered?
