I have a TRG42 300 WM with a cyclone on the end. It does a nice job, but is it strong enough for the magnum. I have called AAC and asked them, to which they stated if the barrel is over 24" (which it is) it should be ok, but they haven't tested enough to know. This is a older cyclone and has been great on my 308s and I don't want to ruin it. Anybody have any experience with a step up like this?

Re: 300WM with a AAC Cyclone?
If a manufacturer told me it "should be ok but we haven't tested it much" I would probably not shoot 300WM thru it..... I have not done it but I always shoot 300WM thru WM rated cans.

Re: 300WM with a AAC Cyclone?
I talked to Mers at AAC about running my 762SD on a 26" 7mm rem mag and he said, knock yourself out.
They rate these cans for caliber based on a 18" barrel. By the time you get the bullet out of a 24" wm barrel, the pressure has dropped substanially. My friends 7 mag has goofy threads so we didn't get to run my can on his rifle today but, I planned on it.
I say run it.

Ya.....I wouldn't run a 300wm through a 762 can. There's a reason they sell a 300wm can at a much higher price.

Its all about pressure, nothing else. Talk to Mike Mers @ AAC.

YHM Phantom 7.62 is rated to take any 30 cal cartridge..... The Cyclone can probably handle it BUT you are going to cut its life down.
