[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2831358, member: 116181"] They used a 308 Win right? I'm chambering for a 30-338 Lapua Improved, so my baseline should be at least 400 FPS faster with a substantially heavier bullet. Next chamber after that is a 30XC, then maybe something based on a CheyTac case. I recall Kirby saying something along the lines of there were excess case capacity issues using the CheyTac case for a 30 cal, so after the 30XC (assuming I can't fill it up all the way) I'll probably drop case capacity slightly when stepping up to the wider diameter. I don't know yet, that reamer design is still way out there. There's always the prospect of a 30-50BMG SDSM (Super-Duper-Short-Mag) 🤣 Would probably have a COL of about 2.400" 🤦♂️😆 [IMG alt="joking fox tv GIF by Last Man Standing"]https://media0.giphy.com/media/mMEwb6ESGBtqUanywm/200.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
