[QUOTE="PapaSmurff, post: 2836684, member: 118512"] Well my first 338 Mega built on a Ruger Hawkeye M77 action is set to arrive tomorrow. Hoping to get some brass fire-formed up tomorrow afternoon and then starting load development Sunday. I decided to go with the short reamer on both the Bergara and the Ruger builds. However my gunsmith used a uni-throatier on the Ruger build giving it an extra .130” throat over the medium reamer. He told me the 250 Berger Elite Hunter cartridge overall length is now 3.320”. The 270 ELD-X max length at the lands is 3.270” which will set the ELD-X around .020-.030” above the neck shoulder junction. I will post my results as my load development proceeds through this weekend. [/QUOTE]
