[QUOTE="Westernhuntr, post: 1862750, member: 112648"] I'm gathering parts to build a lighter weight LR elk rifle (sub 10lbs scoped). I hunt elk out to 1100 yards and plan on shooting the new 212 Barnes LRX, I shoot a lot (approx 300 rounds a year per rifle) so barrel life needs to be at least 1000-1500. Barrel length will be 24-26" to accommodate a 4" suppressor. I've narrowed it down to the following cartridges ONLY: 300 Norma Mag- awesome brass but I'm concerned it will cook barrels.. 30 Nos custom throated- maybe decent barrel life and should get a 212 over 3050 300 PRC- probably the best bet but I'm really wanting at least 3050 with said bullet 300 wsm on a LA- super efficient and would be awesome if RL26 got me over 3000fps. Down side is brass and probably velocity.. I'd love to hear from guys who have any of the above chamberings [/QUOTE]
