[QUOTE="Edd, post: 1298017, member: 30592"] My choice would be the 338 RUM. If you use the edge length cartridge with a 3.700" length magazine, you may have to seat some bullets with the front of the bearing surface inside the case neck. I think that is an undesirable condition. My magazine choice would be a Wyatt center feed #CFE-12 but I don't think it is necessary for what you are wanting to do. I think a 250 gr bullet at 3000 fps from a 28" is a reasonable expectation. Nosler and Hodgdon both show several 250 gr 338 RUM loads at over 2900 fps. Those are at a 3.600" OAL and with 24" and 26" barrels. [/QUOTE]
