Nice compact 30. From your list 200 Eldx or 180 AB if Elk in your path to attempt those velocities.

Most if not all hunting bullets will work fine w/10 twist. Getting beyond 210 might need the 9, but brand requirements vary. The xm action is just fine fir the heavies, but make sure which mags can be used as some get to 3.250ish and others are just over 3". The metal mags gives you more length to use.
I finally got my barrel back from LRI, and I am utterly impressed. This fluting cut out a ton of weight! Action and barrel are at Red Desert Rifles to get spun up now. I gave Chad a dummy round with a 205 Berger EH seated at 3.150 COAL for chamber dimensions. All I need now is a stock and she'll be ready to run once Chad gets it chambered. I'd really like to find a Manners LRH or maybe a McMillan Game Hunter or Scout.
Finally got my rifle put together and fired some test loads through it the other day. I'm running virgin ADG brass with CCI 250, a 61gr charge of Shooters World Long Rifle and 195gr ELD-M just for testing and fire forming brass. 3.06 COAL and about .040" jump. Shot a five round 1" group at 100 with a velocity of ~2750fps. I'm really hoping to get above 2800fps.

Looks great
You should have no problem getting to 2800 fps with h4350 which is great for the 300 wsm

I like that fluting!!
That fluting is really nice. How deep is it, looks like it's right above the rifling lol
Turned out sweet! Congrats!
It is pretty deep, but it's a M24 profile barrel. I actually weighed it in comparison to a 20" carbon barrel I have, and it's lighter than carbon barrel. I had LRI out of Sturgis SD do it and they do it all on a 4 axis mill. It's absolutely beautiful.
