I've got a used 5r barrel, want to rechamber to 300 WM then put on my 700 Mag LA action. Also have a HS stock for it. Hoping it will handle 1500 yds. with 208 Amax. What do ya think??

11.25 will work (factory 5R twist rate), 10 twist would be better.

That seems like a cool idea. I would try the 190 SMK too. I think it has the nuts to get to 1500, and might like the slower twist better than the 208.
