[QUOTE="blacktimber, post: 121903, member: 3161"] Thanks to everyone for the 338 cartridge information. It has been most helpful. I have a 300RUM built on a Nesika action and Lilja 3 groove barrel. It has been a fun rifle to work with. My best handloading efforts have resulted in finding a wonderful load to push the Barnes 180 XLC around 3300 fts with under 1 inch groups at 300 yards. I have a love/hate relationship with that bullet. When it shoots it's a wonderful hunting bullet but getting it to shoot accurately can be frustrating. I would like to go to the next level and get 3400 fps out of a 250-300 grain bullet. Thus my interest in the various 338 customs. What repeating action is available to work with the big 338 magnums? I like the nesika action and have read many good comments about the lawson action. I also think borden is now selling his actions for outside custom work. And what about magazine setup? Does anyone make a detachable that will work with the 338 allen mag? I like the hs precision detachable magazine and have it on several hunting rifles. Will it work on these longer cartridges?
