[QUOTE="tim goins, post: 26788, member: 1303"] i talked to a guy in ohio who routinely builds them on savage long actions which start life as a 300 rum, really impressive, i was concerned about the strength of the unit, but his has lasted well, and all of them have had zero problems, but the wall thickness of the barrel was an issue for me, and i was thinking of moving to the 338 rum instead, the pressure and size of the case is identical to the 300 rum, the only difference is the bore, so i was considering doing that instead, and having a thicker wall of metal around the cartrige would give some peace of mind, if the rounds perform the same, or very close, it would be great i would like to end up with a 250 grain bullet in .338 cal moving at 2900-3000 [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
