[QUOTE="gregsjt, post: 1383368, member: 88091"] The .338-375 Ruger and the 33 Nosler are not based on the same 404 Jeffery case, the Ruger case is based off of their "own" design, while that design is very close to the old Newton cases from the early 1900's, it is still proprietary to Ruger. The Ruger case has the same rim diameter (.532) as a .300 WM or the 33 Nosler, but the case head is also .532, which means that it doesn't have a rebated rim like the 33. The 33 has a case head of .544 or so. The two are probably really close in terms of volume. Some say that the Ruger case would feed better than a case with a rebated rim like the Nosler. However, that whole argument may be academic, I'm not sure there is a lot of empirical data out their that proves that a rebated rim has more feeding problems than a rimless. But, in a hunting rifle that may encounter bears or other dangerous game, feeding should be considered. [/QUOTE]
