[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 167653, member: 2736"] Quigley The 338/378 is currently the most powerful factory 338. The 338 RUM is not very far behind in fact it is real close to the big Weatherby and faster than the 340 with big bullets. Not long ago I had the 338 bug and went through the same thing you are going through,and this is what I decided. I just happened to have a MK 5 Weatherby action and thought with the extra .100 thousand magazine length and with the 338 RUM being slightly shorter ,It should be a good combo. I was right the extra magazine length allows me to seat the bullets long saving space normaly used up with deep seated bullets. In fact it holds all most as much as the 338/300 RUM. Weatherby uses the magazine box to hold the rounds center'ed for better feeding, and this work's very good for the big beltless RUM and is easy to adjust (no milling of the rails). With this set up I shoot 200gr to 250gr hunting bullets and 300gr SMK's with no problem's. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
