[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 83363, member: 10"] Willy1, Not to step on Chris's toes on this question but as a fellow smith I am sure Chris would agree with me that in a properly accurized and square Rem 700 receiver, there is plenty of bolt locking lug baring surface and shear area to handle the 338 Lapua easily. I have built several, I know Chris has as well as has Shawn C. The one thing I do recommend is using a Chromo moly receiver. Not that the stainless will not handle this round as it surely will but I prefer the harder chrome moly steel just as added insurance against bolt lug set back. My 7mm AM is based on the Lapua case and is performing exceptionally well in the Rem 700 receivers. Add an H-S Precision DM system and you have a great repeating extreme range receiver system. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
