[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 524425, member: 24624"] You might want to ask Lutz and Pete since they built it. "Bolt face steel" isn't the only issue to contend with and mfgs such as Savage are beginning to offer off the shelf 338 LMs at consumer friendly prices. Nonetheless, there are other cartridges you may want to look at that alleviate some of the challenges in dealing with the 338LM and may even outperform it. e.g. 338 Edge, 338 RUM, 338 SIN. In any case, looking at the pros and cons of those cartridges may help identify the challenges of converting a Howa 1500 to 338LM. -- richard [/QUOTE]
