First of all I would like to thank everyone on this site that's answered the countless direct messages and threads questions!
First I had narrowed it down to a 300 Norma and a 30 Nosler, and then I settled on a 300 Norma......
But after I sit down with the Gunsmith he talked me out of the 300 Norma due to the donor action and it not being able to feed reliably and attempted to talk me into a 300 PRC which I have no issues with but I thought hey if I do a PRC why not a Sherman!!! But we began to talk about fire forming and I again decided against it. So since I decided I wasn't getting a 300 Norma I said go with one of my original two rounds which was the 30 Nosler.
Rifle Components:
Weatherby MK V action
Original trigger(worked over and I love it)
28" 1:9 twist #5 Hart barrel
McMillan Adj Game Warden stock
Current scope: Leupold VX5HD 3-15x56 Firedot
Leupold rings and mount
My plan is to put a NightForce NX8 4-32x50 SFP with a Picatinny rail and NightForce Rings
Harris Bipod 9-13" W/swivel and some accessories
.875 terminator break from defensive edge
Available reloading components I have on hand:
ADG Brass
Accubond LR 190
Berger 200.20
Berger 208
Berger 215
Fed215m Primers
H1000
7928ss
LRT
N560

N570
My question is now about throat! My Gunsmith said to load him a load and he would cut the throat to the length I wanted and give me the freebore I would want. I told him to keep it SAMMi for now.
I will have pictures once I get it back! I know some may not like the route I have taken but it's been my journey and this site has been a huge part of it and I just again want to say thanks for all the great ppl on here that don't mind talking to a very novice LRHunter.
So if any one has any pet COALs let me know and the load info if you don't mind
Excited to be part of this community and ready to build my wife's rifle now!
