[QUOTE="dreamhunt, post: 1758550, member: 109852"] Expanding the .300 Win Mag to take .338 bullets would make the neck longer, but not that much longer. If I correctly remember my high school trigonometry, the neck length would increase to .2874, when necking up to .338. I've always "heard" that necks should be at least one caliber to provide enough friction to keep the bullet from moving under recoil. I guess in this instance, that would be .330. As data points, the neck length of the .338 win mag is .331 and the neck length of the .338 ruger compact magnum is .320. [/QUOTE]
