[QUOTE="Rimfire, post: 480777, member: 8839"] The cartridge was designed to be built off a 700 action. When a badger extractor is used there is as much or more material left around the bolt face as compared to the factory RUM bolt face with Rem extractor. As for lug shear many custom actions used for the 338 NM have the same lug design as the rem. Run it where it is designed to run and you will have no problem, same as with any cartridge that can be used in the Rem action. Mine is built on a rem action that I had around and got a tight fit PTG bot for it that was set up with the correct bolt face and extractor. It is one of the most accurate rifles I have ever owned and easy to load for. It is hard to make the rifle shootl over 1/2 MOA even during load development. It shoots in the .2's and 3's on a reguar basis with two powders. I am having a 2nd one built on a Pierce action and would go custom if I have the choice, But would not hesitate to build on the Rem.
