[QUOTE="JohnMill, post: 756979, member: 32975"] I just went through a long search on cartridges and actions and I finally read Jim Bordens Small article on the 338LM. It is on the Borden Rifles website. Particularly why he will not chamber it in his actions. Interesting and explained in engineering terms, in case you need and can understand such. I do not, but I did understand the loading data comparison and it puts the 338LM as ( to me only) not worth the time, trouble, wear and tear on a normal action. A much better choice would be the 338 Edge or the 338RUM if you really need that much. My choice is a Ramrod long action from Northwest Action Works. A custom action avoids most of the common problems. I am hoping that the 7RM will do all I can as a long range hunter. I do hope you run down that article. It's educational. Thanks John [/QUOTE]
