338 Allen Magnum Parent case?

[300WSMMAD]

After seeing the threads on the 338 Allen Magnum, its got me thinking, Hmmm 338 LM or 338AM, but could someone please tell me what is the parent case for the 338 Allen Magnum.

Thanks in advance.

The 338AM and 375AM parent case is the 408 Chey Tac. Here is a picture and a good discussion, there are other pictures around on the site as well.

I also have my 338 Allen Xpress if you want upper level performance but not quite the extremity or size of a full blown 338 Allen Magnum rifle.

The 338 AX is an improved version of the Lapua.

When does significant throat erosion start and guilt-edge accuracy drop off? 200 rounds?
