[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1246214"] Yes and no. Yes, you can change the barrel on your Vangaurd 300 Wby or R700 300WM to 338 chambered in 33 Nosler. Either action will be great. Since Pac-Nor will make a "pre-fit" for the Vanguard easy peasy. The Vanguard should just run. Not 100% sure whether the R700 would need feed lip adjustments. No, the 33 Nosler does not really match the 338LM. This can get complicated. Bullet weight, pressures of load, barrel length. For bullet weights under 250grains, the 33 Nosler has an efficiency advantage but not really a performance advantage. Bullets 250grains and up, it all falls on the 338 Lapua Magnum. I'm really excited that Hammer Bullets has thrown down on a 236 grain 338 bullet. On a 33 Nosler or in my case a 338/26-Nosler that 236 sounds fantastic. I wish I had the specs. I'll have to wait. I not good at that part, waiting. [/QUOTE]
