turrning a 300 Rum into 30-378 wby whats needed

[rbros]

I still wouldn't rule out a 30-338 Lapua Improved or 338 Lapua Improved.  Both have a pretty decent size fps advantage over the 300 RUM or 300 RUM based Edge and 338 Lapua brass is much easier to find as well as last significantly longer.

These 2 are in a world of their own and really would need a custom action to get the most benefit out of them.  Might be more than he wants to bite off at this time.

Lets not get to carried away on the first build.

I need someone close to put on a break for me, any recommendations

The customer supplying parts will typically save a guy a little money as long as everything fits together.  This way you aren't paying the excise tax that we have to charge.  Make sure you work with your builder to ensure everything fits together.  You might have a design that doesn't really fit together and will cause you headaches in the long run.  Lots of "world class shooters" are builders out there.  Many to choose from.

Any of the top barrel manufacturers 338 barrels will shoot lights out.  I haven't had a Broughton 338 barrel that hasn't shot in the 3/8" or less range.

Both targets are 5 shot groups.  One from a customer and another from my personal rifle.

Little left and a little high

Steve's Pawn in Lewiston ID. I think the Moneysaver ads are on line, but I've never looked.  208 746 6148

Some one else has a Nightforce 4-14 SHV for $800.00

3 shot "groups" are one thing..5 shots single hole, another. Combine an very accurate built rifle, and someone who can shoot it, This is the result! Nice shooting Travis!

My comment was meant to be sarcastic with the wink, hope nobody thought I was too serious. That is great shooting, Travis! 5 shots in the exact same hole is great!

I am currently on another one of my builds and love seeing the info posted and different ideas and combos. It is very informative. If anyone has a left handed long range build for sale, I'd be interested

The top target is actually a 3 shot group.  My buddy shot it over the summer.

My error....my text from him says 5 shots.  Did you witness him shooting the beer can at 1900?

I sense your normal sceptisism, so since I own one of the rifles anyone is more than welcome to shoot it.    It has shot many groups in the .1's and under as well as many sub .25 moa groups at distance with both experienced and new shooters.
