Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Building a .30 Cal Magnum today…

I have a .284 R5 8.7 Twist Bartlein #19 Remington mag sporter contour 27” blank, Grayboe outlander stock, SS Remington magnum long action. Triggertech trigger, factory BDL bottom metal.
Was thinking 7-300 prc before the 7 prc came out but I have everything I needed for 7 rem mag.

300 pc of new ADG 7 rem mag brass
Redding competition dies
600 plus 180 eldm’s
RL 26, H1000, Retumbo H4831sc

Being that 7 prc brass might not be available for a while and not sure on dies I’m thinking just chamber to the 7 Rem mag throated for the 180’s.

I already have a 300 PRC Ridgeline that is shooting great.

I like new and shiny of the 7 prc but with what I have I don’t know if it’s practical for where I’m invested already.

That ain’t a bit crazy and building like that you’ll never get Les’s performance. That sounds like a great build. And having great brass just makes it so easy.

Yep…that makes sense to me too. Build your 7 mag throated for what you plan to shoot and never look back since the only difference you’ll realize is that brass is readily available and you’ll get to shoot more. 👍🏼

Good luck with your project…I think you’re well on your way to a great rifle.

I had Alamo Precision build me a 300 Weatherby in their Maverick line, 26" barrel, Gill brake and 10 twist. Shoots 200 grain Nosler Accubonds (.588 BC) at 3090 fps into tiny little groups. I shot a Woodland Caribou and moose with it this year, worked fine.

I do like a 7mm Remington Magnum.

Yup...did exactly this...twice. One a 26" 9 twist, the other a 26" 8 twist. Playing with the new 8 twist now. Both on 700`s.

Is there a better way to get a hold of Shaen, Shooter71 than pm system on here. I’d like to go over my rifle project with him and get on his list. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks Ken

His number is on his website…
If that doesn’t work, shoot me a PM.

My Parts are off to California. Thank you Joshf303 for helping me.
