[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 179811, member: 4885"] A short action Savage will eject an Ultra Mag length fired case. A 338 isn't better than a 7mm, they are just different. It all depends what you want to use them for. A 338 barrel will last longer (given the same case capacity). It all depends what you want to do with them. In my opinion, the 338-300Ultra (Edge) is the ultimate caliber for an easy Savage build. The Lapua based wildcats are a little too much for a savage build in my opinion. Sounds like you have a good plan on your Savage build. If you start with a caliber that is the same bolt head as your ultimate build, you will have a practice barrel and as you said, you can swap it for serious shooting. Good luck and keep us informed, BTW: How long til your 18th birthday? AJ [/QUOTE]
