[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 848960, member: 25383"] Isn't the .338WSM pretty much the same as the .338RCM? The optimum over all length is going to be much longer than the .300WSM due to the bullet length alone (unless the end use pushes it way back into the shoulder area, and that's not good). The Remington 700 short action is known to be a little on the short side anyway, and one might be better off with a standard length action. Or maybe use a Savage action instead (I measure between .160" and .180" longer). Even the short Winchester is longer by about .100". Have no idea about the Browning, so won't guess. What somebody needs to do is to make basic WSM brass in something like a 2.31" length. Then you could add about .125" to the shoulder length and finish out with a 2.284" over all length. I think the added .125" length in case capacity would make a serious improvement, but yet still fit in a standard length action. I see this as a win, win! Specially with a .338 caliber. gary [/QUOTE]
