[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1215453, member: 13110"] Most of what I build now is based on brass quality/case life. For example: I'm doing a 6.5x68S Imp because I can get RWS brass for it, which many benchrest shooters have reloaded upwards of 50x, it's beltless, and it has a 35 degree shoulder to mitigate case stretching. I also have the 7-338 Norma Imp in the works to use the 423 Dakota brass I have which also has a 35 degree shoulder. I just finished a 300wsm and a 300wm also. The 300wm I built because I had the parts and 600 rounds of brass and the 300wsm I built because the case life is quite good and they are notoriously accurate with good barrel life. So far the 300wsm has proven it's accuracy. It's shot several sub 1/2" groups and a couple in the .2's while figuring out what load of R-26 it likes. I'm with you WildRose, I don't need another .30 caliber magnum as I have 11 of them, but I will probably build a sporter barreled 30-338 Norma Imp. in the next year. The one I have now has a barrel that is 1" diameter at the muzzle and weights 15.5lbs. [/QUOTE]
