CTS looks like a great rifle! Enjoy your new 30 BR!
I have had a 30 BR SA 700 in a Remington laminate with a 22" bull barrel and a timney trigger for around 20 years. It is my test bed for any scope that is suspect. Have helped sort out many of my friend's rifles with it.
I find it the most consistent and easiest to load of all my rifles.
I ordered a reamer with a longer throat to shoot heavier bullets. Twist is 1 in 10. It primarily shoots 168 target bullets. It can shoot up to 200 gr bullets if I so desire.
Sierra has load data for the 30 BR from 125 to 200 gr bullets in some of their older loading manuals.
I neck up Lapua 6 BR brass and turn the necks so I can use a RCBS FL die with sizer ball removed with a .001" neck diameter difference between empty and loaded.
The current load uses 33.5 grains of IMR 8208 XBR with 168 Hornady fed 205 primer vel 2490
