How Does the 300 Win and 30 Nos. Compare

[Lonewolf74]

Cool hope the build turns out great for you and I'll be waiting on the results...though I might just have to go ahead and start my own build cus I'm getting more amped the more I look into it lol

I'm too impatient I just worked up a brand new 30 Nosler build on a Lone Peak Razor Ti action yesterday!

I've got the brass and bullets in hand and shipping them to my gunsmith so he can spec out a custom reamer around the 215/212.

In my world that will be two reamers. Throat them for the 212 and the 215 will not have a lot left in the neck when both touch the lands. Or sacrifice powder colume to hang the 212 deeper in the case. Just a heads up.

Appreciate the heads up. I am aware of that, and going to discuss all of that with my smith. I have not decided how I want to set up the rifle, as in optimize for the 215 or 212. Ideally, do you want the bullet to fill about 90% of the neck? What's the prevailing logic here?

I am setting mine up with the bearing surface right at bottom of the neck when touching lands. I can back off or chase the lands from there.

Will be interested in what your build ends up weighing fully set up with optics. I went with the Razor Ti action, McMillan game scout w/ edge fill and a benchmark #4 contour. Before optics I was kind of targeting the rifle to weigh about 7.5 lbs then about 1.5 - 2 lbs for optics.

I'm interested in seeing if that 9 twist will gain you any BC with the 215..

I'm kind of surprised by the Christensen carbon...they must have got their stuff together now.

I reviewed several rifles, and hunted with them exclusively last season. Lots of full freezers and I have no worries.

Good to hear! Just watched your review on the Lone Peak Ti as I'm also interested in one.

Lone Peak should definitely be at the top of the list of actions to consider for a custom build, especially if you want Ti.

Hey Jeff,

Why is your Nosler build on a 28" tube? One of the advantages of this cartridge is it exceeds the 3000 fps mark in a 26" barrel.

Just curious...
