[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 58529, member: 10"] Radunn, If you can think it, it can be built, within reason of course. Reamers are not to bad. A full blown custom reamer from JGS, the only reamer I use, would run in the $200 dollar range including shipping. I cover 1/2 the cost of a custom reamer to help out my customers as well as add to my inventory of reamers. Redding does not list the 358 RUM on their custom list of rounds but if you went with the standard case configuration of the RUM with the caliber being the only difference I would not think there would be any additional tooling costs. Dies would probably be in the $100 to $120 range just guessing. Basically one could use top end load data forthe 358 STA for starting loads for the 358 RUM and work up from there looking for the usual pressure signs. Accuracy wise, the 338 family of bullets is vastly superior to the 358 for true match quality or extreme range shooting. For traditional big game hunting ranges, 400 yards or so, you will not see a huge difference between the two. There is just a much larger selection of bullets for the 338. For an easy to build, easy to load for heavy hitter that will serve you well at 10 yards or as far as you choose to shoot, the 338 RUM would be hard to beat. Just measured the case volume difference between the 338 RUM and the 338 Lapua, its 3 grains difference only, nothing really at all. It is a serious howerhouse that can be loaded up to higher levels then Rem loads their factory ammo to. 2850 fps with a 250 gr pill in a 26" barrel is a pretty mild load. Good Shooting!!!
