[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 982864"] First part of your questions: Can I size down 300RUM to 338RUM, I am sure of it but have not done it. Is it worth the work? So IIWM (if it were me) and of course it was. I'd go with a 338/300 RUM aka 338 Edge. No action modifications. Just neck up your brass. If you have a R700 type action, a Wyatts box that will extend your COAL. 3.75" is easy, 4.0" requires a little machining/gunsmithing. Load work up seems easy. I don't know if I just got lucky but my "finger in the wind" starting load (not really) cloverleafs every time out. I made 700 yards on target with the first 20 rounds with fouler/break in bullets. I'm not going fast yet but I'm accuracy above speed. Last outing, just held for wind and put a mark on the 400y stop sign target. Used that mark to change hold for a dead center hit on same. All that with Hornady 285 HPBT 2nds, sorted by weight and ogive. [/QUOTE]
