OK, barrel is at the gunsmith. Action on the way shortly
I need to give him my primary choice of bullet so he can spec a custom reamer from JGS (12 week lead time)
Here are 3 choices. If you think of others to consider let me know

Not sure if you have a primary purpose for the rifle - hunting or range. Looks like you may use it for both.OK, barrel is at the gunsmith. Action on the way shortly

I am having my 300PRC built on a large shank savage 116. I'm sure you can find someone to make you a barrel for a small shank action but I've ran across quite a few who won't ream out a small shank barrel to accept a RUM sized case.I have a Savage Long action old school 112V single shot .25-06
Well, Barnes just got bought up.
By Sierra. That’s a good sign in my opinion.

Again, what is this for
As to single shot vs. repeater. I've been thinking for a while that my next hunting rig would be a single shot bolt action. The reason is pretty simple: Not being constrained to the dimensions and functions of the magazine....
1. Frees up seating depth and bullet selection, which allows for more flexibility in load development
2. Don't have to worry with feeding issues
3. I don't need a follow up shot, I'm just too damn good.
Both of these cartridges have ample power for any North American big game animal, and at the range most of us hunt, most animals won't be able to tell a difference.
It’s a new, never used 1950’s era single shot FN Mauser target action with magnum bolt face, in the white
.300 PRC
Post fourteen...
Already got one.
There is still time to change his mind on the specific bullet he is having his barrel throated for, if you hurry.
I, personally, think the Bore Rider looks neat, like an artillery round. Which a 300 PRC is not far from.
Maybe the obturation band could act as a wad cutter when sighting in at range.
Color me jealous @Nature Boy. It’s turning out to be a Pretty Remarkable Contabulation indeed!

yeah but the bore rider says 1 in 8" twist and his is 1 in 9" soo0 that isn't gonna change !
Jbm has a calculator to help with that, if you can input the length of the tip, the calculation comes out quite different I believe that your core concept is spot on.I've often wondered about meaningful bullet length when there are plastic tips involved. In terms of bullet stability, is the 1.866" length of the Barnes bullet meaningful or does the bullet react like a 1.750" bullet since the tip is significantly less dense than the the copper?
