[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 535201, member: 9253"] The picture above points out an important fact. Of the cases shown the only one short enough to shoot 300 grain Sierra MatchKings from a 3.6" magazine is the 338 Norma Mag (the shortest one) . Even the 338 Norma Mag won't properly fit a 300 grain Berger VLDs in a 3.6" magazine. I own a 338-378 in a SAKO TRG-s but it can only shoot the 300 grain VLDs as a single shot. Those others may be fine cartridges but only if used in custom or highly modified actions. Sure, you can shoot them all with short high drag bullets, but the energy is just wasted pushing air out of the way. [/QUOTE]
