best 30 cartridge for ai mag fed 230gr

[hoguer]

putting together another savage 110 LA with CDI dBm and wanted opinions on the best cartridge for the berger 230 target hybrid. was thinking 300wsm but don't know if I will be getting the velocity I want, and 300 rum OAL may be a little long if I'm not mistaken, and it has to fit in the AI mags. Any other ideas? barrel length is n problem just wanting 32" or less, will be a prone ELR hunting and steel rifle.

Can you just swap the bf and run the 300 NM? Run the aics 338 LM mags?

will the 338 mags work with the CDI DBM?

Send Jeff an email or give him a call. He'll be able to help you out.

My 230's are less than 3.6" in the NM.

cant seem to find anything online about the 300ai, and if the 338 ai mags work in the CDI then I will be fine shooting the 300RUM with the 230s?
