Been pondering buying a 300 prc reamer. Ive got a 7mm and 338 based on the same case, if the 30 performs anything like the 7 and 338 you will be impressed!!!

He is waiting on getting it. It has been ordered. I dropped my parts and pieces off today. It will be a few weeks till I get my finished rifle. I am really looking forward to this project.

Everything I have read about it ballistically scream awesome! The 225 ELD-M bullet has a G1 BC of .777 so if a guy can get it coming out of the pipe over 2800 fps it should perform very very well at distance.

I cant imagine how amazing it would be to get a bullet with a BC of .777 traveling at 3000 FPS. It would make hitting 1000m almost easy. We shall see. I ran that bullet through a ballistics program and It is only 7.71 Mills of Elevation and 1.1 mills of wind (10 mph) using factory ammo doing 2800 fps.
My 6.5x47 140 ELD-M at 2840 fps is 8.34 of Elevation and 1.52 of wind using the same ballistics program.
One thing I do know for a fact is when my friend hits my gongs with his 300 WSM the gong makes a completely different sound and it is very easy to see that its swinging!
Picked up my rifle today. I am very happy! Took it out and broke in the barrel. I will still need to get it sighted in but at least it was on paper. Groups were around 1 inch but I wasnt really focused on my shooting. I will be very interested to see how she shoots next time out.
First impressions
Muzzle Brake is excellent, the felt recoil was surprisingly low considering the amount of powder and bullet weight. It is very loud though, its a thunder breathing dragon.
It seemed to like 212 ELD-X better than the 225 ELD-M but its way to early to tell (less than 20 rounds) down the pipe.
The weight is just about right. Its heavy enough to be planted and solid but light enough a guy could carry it a mile in and a mile out if they had to during a hunt.
So far I am happy and I think I will quite like it. Hopefully I can reduce the group size down a bit so I can do some long bombing at the range.
