I have a 7SAUM built on a long action and I ABSOUTLELY love it. It is for hunting and I'm shooting 180 Berger VLD's at 2960. As a hunting rig it's great. The recoil is more than my 260 but not bad at all. It is a 26" Rem Varmit barrel with a JEC brake. Comes in just over 12#.
However for your...
And there may or may not be some people at GAP that may or may not even believe in a break in procedure but just list one so that they don't get 50 phone calls a week about it.
I don't get 300BLK in a bolt gun. Semi auto sure I even have one.
Why? .30cal subsonic is .30cal subsonic meaning speed is the same and you can do that in 308Win. Put a supersonic load in it and a 308Win beats the hell out of a 300BLK.
I bought a .22lr suppressor early in 2013 but it was a long painful wait on the BATFE until the paper work cleared in 2014. During that time I started researching what pistol host I wanted for my new toy. The wants / requirements were as follows:
1. Threaded barrel to attach a suppressor.
2...
THIS!!!!
If you are going to go by the 1500 ft-lb requirement for your inteneded range then a Magnum in the 7mm or 30cal offerings is your best bet. I wanted to accomplish the same goal and I ended up with a 7SAUM.
The OAL on my 180 Hunting VLD is about 3.020" to touch the lands. I load them to 3.035" OAL for a 0.015" jam (approximate as OAL varies I use 2.242" BTO as my "real" measurement for jamming). The reamer has a free bore of 0.180". I built on a long action so I could seat them long.
Everybody I know that has or had a 308 and built a 6.5 never shoots 308 anymore. The 6.5 does everything the 308 does and does it better with the exception of subsonics (which is very specialized).
I own and have owned other 308's, have a 260 which ballisticly is identical to 6.5Creedmoor and...
No I do not have a rifle in this caliber. The information I posted is available in post #306 in the thread.

Factory brass is supposed to happen some time this year and it will be...
The no neck turn reamer has a .298" neck diameter. The neck turn reamer is .2962" so if you don't turn necks in the neck turn reamer then the brass will not fit. If you don't want to turn necks then have your gun chambered with a .298" neck diameter reamer.
I do not actually have or use something like this I was just told that it did exist. But I did find this and it seems like it would do the trick because it appears there is a recess in the center for the primer to fit even if it was sticking up proud. Davidson Seating Depth Base Pieces |...
