Hi Roger.

Assuming your new barrel meets the taper requirements: (http://nbrsa.com/Rules/rules_rev37.pdf) pg 77

Short answer = yes, it is legal.

Little bit longer answer =
In the IBS the 30BR would still be in the varmint hunter class (in terms of ability to break world records). As of last year (2013) you would compete against all other 6 power scopes (regardless of caliber) in terms of yardages and grand aggs.
In the NBRSA the "no case capacity rule" is in its' 3 year trial period. So, for the next 3 years you can shoot basically any caliber you want. The membership will vote at the end of these 3 years to either accept or reject this rule.

Hope this helps.

page 4 of 7
Hunter Class: Mr Meyer wanted to discuss the hunter class meeting at the 2013 Hunter Nationals which
was held by Ron Shultz at Mill Creek. The hunters voted 20 to 15 to remove the case capacity and
caliber restriction for a 2-year period. Mr Meyer asked for a vote to accept their 2-year trial period.
Second by Mr Campbell and passed unanimously.

page 7 of 7
Mr Meyer made a motion to have a 3-year moratorium on all rule changes for all three disciplines
once the Hunter/VFS Rules are approved with the exception of safety items. The Board has requested
Mr Mundy to review the Hunter/VFS Rules and once approved, these too will be included in the 3-year
moratorium on rule changes. The moratorium will be concluded January 1, 2017. Motion seconded by
Mr Hunter. All in favor except for Mr Stanton. Motion passed.
