Looks like someone needs to do a 30 Nosler build on an XP-100.... Hmm, should that be my next XP-100 build?? Maybe I need to start collecting parts... Barrel... Stock... Reamer... Brass... Anyone got any spare money they can send me? ![]() Regards, Rog (Buttermilk421) | |||

We'll have dies before the end of February. Redding standard full length 2-die set and the Master Hunter. We can special order others. Should make a beast of an xp. mike ------------------------------ JUST SAY NO To Gun Bans, JOIN Gun Owners of America

Anyone heard of the Rem 30cal SAUM? Close to the same thing.This message has been edited. Last edited by: old leghumper, ---------------------- Never argue with an idiot: they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience! I am that idiot. | |||

-??? It only has about 35% more case capacity than the .300 SAUM. -Mike | ||||

Gary probably meant the RUM (Remington Ultra Mag), not the Remington Short Action Ultra Mag (RSAUM). [/QUOTE] Ernie (xphunter) "The Un-Tactical" WY-SHOT 2022 June 20-22 | |||

no 30 nosler rental reamer so far. | ||||
|
You could always have a reamer built to your specs and use it for your build, then turn around and sell it for close to what it cost you. -Cheaper than renting ![]() Come on, you know you want too LOL! ![]() -Mike | ||||
|
If the 30 Nosler is the same case as the 28, it would be very close to the 300 Dakota. | ||||
|
30 Nosler has the shoulder pushed back vs the 28 Nosler. Case is also a bit shorter too. For a SP, I think I like the 30 Nosler case a bit better. I'm seriously considering spec'ing a reamer for the bullet I would want to shoot and getting a project started. Got a second XP that might enjoy being massaged. Regards, Rog (Buttermilk421) | ||||

Sounds like a cool build. I think you should do it. What bullets would you use? I get 2800fps with 230hybrids in my 300 RUM. It shouldn't be too far behind. Aaron | ||||

Dave Manson Reamers is a good source for custom reamers.

I'd want to shoot 210-230 gr bullets. Say a 9" twist, 18" bbl. Perhaps a Hvy Palma contour, but maybe a Bartlein #4 / Krieger #6. I'd expect it to be ~100 FPS slower. Regards, Rog (Buttermilk421) | ||||
