[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1200303, member: 30902"] Contact the manufacturer. Unless it's rated for the .338L and larger cases I absolutely would not try it. When suppressors blow up they frequently really "BLOW". Before building anything using the RUM case or larger you really should find someone that has one they'd be willing to let you shoot. It's definitely a big step up recoil wise compared to the standard magnum calibers. The expense involved in shooting the big guys will also take a big bite out of the budget compared to the standard magnums. In reality there's nothing you could even want to hunt in North America that the 300wm or 7mm Rem Mag will not do the job on with a quality bullet down the tube and good shot placement. I shoot the 7mm STW which is my all time favorite caliber but I'm very partial to my 300wm's and 300 Rum's as well. I've also become a real fan of the 375Ruger. I got a good deal on one when I was planning my trip to Africa and have literally had a blast with it since the first day at the range. My next build is going to be another 375R with a 28" barrel so I can really stretch it out and see what the upper limits for the caliber are. If I were starting over today though I'd start with either the 300wm, or 30 Nosler in .30 cal and 28 Nosler for a hot 7mm. Wildcats are fun to tinker with if you have the time and money to invest in them but I won't own anything I can't buy factory ammo to shoot. I have seen far too many guys over the years get separated from their ammo on a "Trip of a Lifetime" and if they couldn't replace it over the counter it can really ruin a trip. If you want the best of both worlds give the 7mm STW a long, hard look. Even though it's still somewhat of an odd ball wildcatter's round you can get factory ammo loaded for it. The 7mm STW has such a following we even have our own sub forum dedicated to it here and you will find more devotees of the caliber here at LRH than probably any other forum on the net. [/QUOTE]
