In a nutshell, my method & opinion exactly...but use the relatively sloppy fit of factory ammo when hunting dangerous game. Plus this most excellent 'tailoring-the-case' method only really applies to a specific rifle's chamber dimensioning...ammo made from such tuned cases should not be used in...

And actual brass temper will affect all pressure movements, and spring back! Good thread!

Concisely put.

Ramshot Enforcer is another good 300 Blk powder for the 125 to 135 grain bullet range.

My My 300 Blk in 16” barrel, really likes H110 powder (clover leafs @50 yds using Speer 130gr jhp). As a general rule of thumb, for the 125 to 135 bullet range, look to those dense load powders for high velocity 44 Rem Mag pistol loads for excellent 300 Blk performance. For 150 gr & up, try...

If it’s to be under 11#, can he tolerate the recoil of the heavier bullets necessary to claim an elk at 1k yards? Recoil can kill accuracy at any range, but 1,000 yards makes it a very critical factor. I’ve known men who were 6’4” tall weighing 245# that could’nt handle more than a 243 Win with...

Get a stainless barrel...it should improve accuracy life for that round. Get the barrel exterior ceramic coated in a dark blue-black color, low sheen.

.308 Winchester would be very good, brass & Bullets widely available, a proven shooter to 600 meters. Others might be 7mm-08 and the 7mm Express (an easy make from 30-06 military or commercial brass). Good luck with whatever you settle on!
