[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 121174, member: 2011"] Answers: 1) Probably not too long but maybe too heavy. 250s are super and a 275 may be better yet but haven't tried any. May have to step up to the 338 Edge for the 300gr bullets. 2) Twist will probably work 3) Yes 4) No not anything needs to be replaced. But I would strongly consider lapping the lugs, a trigger job and if the bolt face has rings/grooves I'd get them removed. 4a) A good pillar and skim bedding job would sure help. 5) Rem barrels will shoot. 338 Win - sub half inch groups. Same rifle w/338RUM take off bbl - right around 1/2 inch groups with a 250 gr bullet @ 3000 vs 2800 in WinMag. 6) Chambers are good. No need to turn necks other than to even them out for uniform neck tension. The downer is brass. Way too soft in the webbing. If I could figure out how to make 338 RUM cases out of any kind of Winchester brass, I would jump on it in a minute. [/QUOTE]
