Waiting on my rifle now from the gunsmith!
But I have
Dies-Hornady Custom Grade
Berger 200.20x Hybrid
7828ssc powder
Weatherby(norma) Brass
Fed 215m primers

I wasn't going to reload but ppl on the forums talked me into it, so I found a friend that will allow me to reload with him all I had to do is get my components and dies!!! Lucky!

Bought a Leupold VX5HD 3-15x56 Firedot

As soon as my rifle is done getting trigger and break added I will put scope on and get started!!!

I know your excitement. What are the specifics on your rifle?
I have a new Shilen 6mmBR barrel setting on my desk, waiting for Lapua brass, Berger 95gn VLD's and Go Gauge (be here 3/19) and ordered a Pac-Nor, 28" SSSM, Sendero profile in .300WinMag (here in June) and I have new Norma brass and 215gn Bergers for it already! I see a new AR-10 barrel in my near future (not sure the wife see's it, but I do :) ).
 
I am much further off then you my friend! I am working on my rifle in phases due to cost!
Weatherby Mark V deluxe-stock
Phase 1
Donor Rifle-check
Scope-check
trigger work-2lbs crisp/clean
Break on stock 1:10 barrel
Reloading components
Dies
Refinish stock-doing this myself
Pillar and Glass bed stock

Phase 2- ove next 12-18 Months
Rebarrel-26" Hart, #4 Douglas contour with 1:9 twist, if I move to monos (hammer bullets) or I will stay 1:9.5 or 1:10 if I stay with the 200-215 Berger's.
I may also rechamber but not 100% sure atm(300 norma mag possibly)
True up action and bolt face when I rebarrel it.

Phase 3 if I don't start working on a new rifle!
Add Suppressor
Lol

This gun will be a primary LR hunting set up but I also plan on doing some small local competitions as well

I want to keep my MV just over 3k, I don't know why but I have a Fetish I guess pushing a 30cal 200-215gr pill 3000 mv

Sounds like some LR artillery for sure! I have heard good reports about those 200.20X Hybrids at 1K from a local guy who pushes them in his .308Win. Thought of giving them a spin myself.
If that's a fetish then I have it too! :)
 
You won't have any problem getting 3000 FPS from that outfit, and it will more then likely fill all of your other requirements, good luck and keep us posted, there is nothing like breaking in a new or new to you rifle.
 
Just an update....
Ordered my McMillan Game Warden stock a day or two ago and will be ordering my 26" #5 contour w/fluted Hart Barrel w/Vais break, probably next mounth!! I will be shipping my current action to Hart and they will rebarrel and bed my new stock!!! So with luck I will have my gun back by time White Tail season opens up down here!! I will also keep it as a 300wby!

The pictures are what my riffle looks like currently!!
