[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 1305057, member: 1290"] 338 Lapua Saami OAL is 3.68". 28 Nosler max cartridge OAL is 3.34" I don't think you will need more than a 3.78" box unless you plan on seating your bullets way out. Super long bullets seated out to max usually don't feed well and are usually best suited to single fed range rifles. These bullets should work just fine seated at 3.34" and give you the close to the free bore you are looking for. Saami spec on that reamer is .271" free bore. Your actual free bore is dependent on how far out you seat your bullets. If Ryan is your smith on the project then go with what he recommends. I know he has built a few 28 Noslers. [/QUOTE]
