Looking for 300 ultra info

[bushwackr]

Well does anyone know if I can buy a blank 30cal varmint contour criterion with 1.250 on the breech

[troutdodger]

so you're gonna open up your receiver to take a large shank?

[bushwackr]

Nope have it threaded and installed like a rem .

[scope eye]

You mean with a shoulder, just curious what are you trying to achieve.

That way there will be more meat around the chamber area , barrel will be the same diameter at the lug as the action.

[bushwackr]

That's the only way I can get it done here , smith says not enough barrel for the round, liability reasons he won't install a 300 on a Ss, he told me go ahead but he won't. So I'm kinda in a spot

[bushwackr]

And no one makes a small prefit 300 um, not even savage.

[bushwackr]

Because of course they never made them:rolleyes:

[troutdodger]

Doesn't make much sense. I've had a 338 Edge done in a small shank, varmint contour. Don't know why a 300 RUM would be an issue.

[bushwackr]

I know lots of people have but I dont have many choices

[bushwackr]

Who made it?

[scope eye]

The barrel thickness and diameter of they action is not the weakest link, it is actually the bolt face and even that can take a pounding, I have 12 different calibers
based on the RUM From 6mm to all the way to 458 and some are screwed on to a Stevens 200s action, and I don't take no prisoners when I load, and yet here I am typing away, you are making to much of this, just screw on a barrel and watch for pressure signs and you will be fine.

Dean

[troutdodger]

who have you talked to?

[scope eye]

Also periodically examine the bolt face and look for hairline cracks, and just change it out if you find any.

Dean

[troutdodger]

like Scope eye said, head space it correctly, watch your pressures and go for it.

[bushwackr]

I talked to nss, kreiger and my local guy . he got me all convinced when he said that a local had one blow up using factory ammo some years back, and then I went and looked online and found 2 more instances of them letting go. That's why he won't do it.

[scope eye]

I am sure that is true, although I would love to know the load they were using, I am sure they did not forward that info, and just blame it on the gun.

Dean

[bushwackr]

I'm not sure any on that but the info that was there on 2 of the 3 were the early ones , I assume thats exactly what I have. Either way tho I want to re barrel who makes a prefit that I want

[troutdodger]

Shilen, McGowen

[bushwackr]

Ok I will have to see what they tell me
