300 Norma Improved 30°...sorta.

As it's a slightly overbore case, has anyone tried improving the case by pushing the shoulder back and lengthening the neck? That's what my 6.5 SLR has, and I was wondering if anyone has already gone down that road with the Norma round.

Nice setup you have there. The shoulder looks like it's improved forward in that pic. So is the pivot point on your round the shoulder/neck junction? If so, that's exactly what I'm looking for! BTW, I am REALLY hoping Ruger releases their new RPR in 300 Norma...

Sorry, that should have said shoulder/body junction.

And I'll be utilizing the 225 ELD-Ms for my purposes.

Youre going to need .300 minimum freebore.IMO

I'll end up running them long. The magazines let me go out as far as 3.850", depending on the mag. I'm thinking the 3.715" will be sufficient.
