[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 288394, member: 2736"] Not very well. It's the bolt face issue again. The vanguard bolt is small and does not leave much of a extractor when opened up. It will work with a 338 RUM or a 300/338 rum with out opening the bolt face. The Weatherby MK5 would be my choice to open up and with the extra magazine length it allows the use of 250gr and 300gr bullets to be loaded longer increasing powder capacity. I have the 338 RUM on a MK5 action and the COAL is 3.750 with room to spare in the magazine. (The Factory COAL is3.635 for the 338 RUM). 0.115 longer in the MK5. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
