[QUOTE="Varminator 911, post: 216770, member: 9705"] [b]338-375 Ruger[/b] Another standard length choice I'd consider would be the 338-375 Ruger. I would think that will be a factory brass soon. It is near the 330 Dakota and a step above the 338 WSM and 338 WM. Would allow you to seat bullets long in a magnum length action. I would think it would be as accurate as the WSM but maybe not. I think it is interesting that Nosler has decided that the RUM line is the most accurate of the big magnums. They have thus adopted the 338 and 375 RUM as their standard test cartridges for those bullets. If I wanted a big 338, and I do, I'd forget about all the WSM, WM, Dakotas, and Rugers, just get a 338 RUM or 338 Edge. The bullet seating issues can be resolved. If nothing else, seat the bullet a little deeper than you want. You will still end up with more horsepower. [/QUOTE]
