[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 719403, member: 5219"] If you have a shorter magazine, like the Ruger M77 tang safety, the bullet will have to be set deeper in the 300 win mag case. In this situation the 30-338 win mag will have the same powder capacity as the 300 win mag. I know I measured the two with a 180 gr spitzer bullet. I chose the 30-338 for that rifle. That was quite a while ago. I still have the die set. My gunsmith had the 30-338 reamer so it didn't cost much to try it. Moved on to the 257 weatherby with that rifle. [/QUOTE]
