[QUOTE="Max Heat, post: 620484, member: 43153"] Boltface yes, because RUM cartridge is not belted like standard mag, but RUM OD is equal to the OD of standard mag's belt (which includes the base). But length can't be, as the ultra mag cartridge is .350" (if I remember correctly) longer. There's no way the standard mag's mag could accomodate them. And I am sure that the RUM needs to use a longer action, which should dictate having a larger OD also. The standard 7 mag uses what is considered a "short" magnum action, and I just don't see that being workable with the 7 RUM cartridge. Could someone provide measurements on remington 700 SPS 7mm standard models, in both chamberings?? My standard 7 mag (savage, sporter contour) barrel mikes out at 1.042" at the farthest part back, just ahead of the locking nut (0.525" at muz). The front part of the action, where the barrel screws in and the boltface locks into, measures 1.352" OD. Measured action length is 4.654". [/QUOTE]
