Introducing the 300 Tyrant

[Tumbleweed]

I’m looking at a tikka 22” build and have been annoyed that the 300 prs is too long. This looks like the ticket! Keep us updated on the progress. I’m looking at shooting 212 eldx for long range elk so I’m guessing it would require a different reamer with a shorter throat than the one you used?

You certainly could run it with this freebore but you'd be jumping quite a ways...which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Optimized length for the 212 though is probably gonna be .050" shorter freebore. I'd have to look at notes when I get home

After checking my notes...required freebore for the 215 Berger is around .150" and for the 210 VLD about .215" with both of those bullets in optimal position in the neck. I would think the 212 ELDX would be somewhere in between the two. I did leave the longer neck on this cartridge which would allow a guy to really get the boat tail up high in the neck if needed. Depends on what your OAL restrictions are. Could be a reamer adjustment or just jump them a bit farther
