Anyone built a SP in 300 RUM to shoot the 245 Bergers?

[Totch94]

Have any of you experimented with a Specialty Pistol in 300 RUM to shoot the New 245 Bergers? What barrel length have you gone with? What Twist? 1 in 8? What brake? What performance have you seen shooting the 300 RUM out of a short barrel like a SP? I am toying with the idea of building one. Thinking of building off of a Savage Target Action. I have a 338 Edge Rifle built off of the Savage Target Action that is extremely accurate. I am just curious about the big RUM cartridges in the shorter configuration of the SP. Thanks for any advice you can lend!

I set mine up for 230's.
The 245's didn't exist back then

Thank you Ernie. I was hoping you would reply to this. What speeds are you getting from the 230's? What twist did you use?

Greetings,
What length Barrel are you using?

I just ordered a 27" RUM for this application. Hoping to see it work...
