[QUOTE="msalm, post: 160501, member: 8863"] Well so much for listening to opinions, but I was shopping around the internet and saw that Nesika had a few actions in stock... I had a friend with an FFL order one of their V model actions. Long action, RUM bolt-face with a solid bottom single shot. He just received it in the mail today. SO, I have an action, and I now have to decide between the 300RUM, or either the 338RUM or 338-300RUM. Any other thoughts? I suppose there's no perfect answer, but my thoughts are I should see a better barrel life (possibly?) with either of the 338's. With a good bullet would you feel comfortable with a 700 yard (max) shot on an elk, or would the 338's have an advantage? So given that info, what caliber would you choose, and what chambering reamer would you select? Do any of you set up tight-neck chambers that require neck turning, or are you satisfied with a minimum headspace chamber and a no-turn neck diameter. Another thought was can a standard 338 RUM chamber reamer be used for the 338-300RUM by chambering to a deeper depth? I was wondering if the shoulder diameter and neck length was the same, and taper of the case at the base close enough that this could be done. [/QUOTE]
