Looking at building a 300 WSM hunting rifle to shoot heavy bullets at game and steel. The 300 WIn Mag has more umph but the 300 WSM is known for accuracy and that's what I chase, even in hunting/steel guns. 215 Berger Hybrids will be my Bullet of choice. Rifle will go on a long action or a medium length action.
With the boat tail junction seated at the should/neck junction, what is the COAL? Looking at the Berger spec sheet and the Sammi drawing, it looks like it would be around 3.150"?
What reamer freebore will put the Bullet there?
What loads and fps is everyone using for 215s seated out long like this? Seems like h1000 and h4831sc should be the ticket?
What could be expected out of a 24" barrel?
Any special WSM reamers out there that lead to better accuracy, ie: neck dia and such?
Ordering a barrel and plan on getting a 9 twist for the 210 vld, 215 hybrid and 225 eld-m. I plan to shoot the 215 mostly, though. 9 twist or 10 twist barrel? I'll be ordering it so no issue on availability.
Thanks for any and all info.
