Long Range Heavy Bullet Rifle Help?

[BULLBLASTER]

I shot 215 bergers out of a 10 tw rum for years with good accuracy.
They work fine, but if doing a custom build I would reccomend a 9 or 9.5.

Just asking, but why do you think you need anything faster than a 1-10 to shoot the 200-215's?

To be stable in the worst conditions. I.e. Very cold dry air at low elevation high preasure situations and also can improve the transition to subsonic from super sonic

the browing xbolt hells canyon in 300 winmag is 1:9.5 with 26 inch barrel

their A3-5 is 28 inch barrel and 1:10

Like i said i shot the 215 for years since they came out with a 10 and was plenty happy but when I had a custom made I went to 9 to make sure I would be good. And also in case I ever wanted to shoot the 230s. I realize guys are shooting those from 10 also. . It certainly won’t cause any problems with the heavys in a 9 vs a 10. Not sure on anything lighter tho.

Does anyone know mag box length on the brownings?
Just curious if you can mag feed a long loaded 215.

They are long bullets. Mine are loaded to 3.74 ish oal.

I'm shooting the 230's from a 10tw and they work very well but I'm also shooting them a couple hundred fps faster than a RUM, too.

What's your budget on this rig?

I was thinking $2,500 for rifle.  Though this is a very soft number.  I have found rifles ranging from $1,200 to $3,000.....once I hit the 3k number I should just go 100% custom. 

My scope will be a nightforce shv 5-20x56.

I’d have a hard time plunking 2500 down on a factory rifle personally. Definitely get with some builders and explore options before you decide on that.

I don’t doubt it at all. It’s known they work in a 10. But with the option of faster I couldn’t see a downside.
I’ve seen guys shooting the 215 from a 10 at 308 velocity with great results too.

Fast 230s gotta be pretty dang awesome!

You should be able to have a pretty nice semi custom built on a Rem 700 LA for $2500.

Either.....really like the chassis on my savage stealth but have stocks on everything else.  Not 100% decided one way or the other.

You can get into a custom 300 Win (or any other magnum/non mag caliber) for $3000 or Under if you’re smart with components.  Could look something like this:

Stiller Predator action $940
Mcmillan Gamewarden/GameHunter: $600
Benchmark #4 non fluted: $335
PTG bottom metal plus Wyatts box and follower: $175
Mbm 4 port baby beast brake: $90
TriggerTech trigger: $180
Labor to put it all together including cerakote: $800.

$3120 total. Kind of a no frills bare bones custom build with a 6 month lead time but it’s still an option. Or go with a stock from stockys and cut that lead time down to 4.5 months.

And I apologize for the offtrack C.F. discussion. My intention was merely to educate and offer up information on a subject I know a fair amount on. Hope you find the rifle that’s perfect for you!
