[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 747694, member: 48043"] I'm with Frank on this. Plus remember a m700 rum action has a bit wider action rails than the reg. ones, so machining costs go up a good bit. If You really want to step up a bit in vel. a 340 wby is your best option. It'll only do 100-200 fps more depending on pill weight, so even that is rather questionable. I contemplated a re-chambering on my #1 in 338 win for a few years, but at 2900 fps on a 225 already, I'd have to step up to a pretty big 338 to net much more. If I had my heart set on 250 grain+ bullets, I might think differently, but I have a [EMAIL="375h@h"]375h@h[/EMAIL] for that. [/QUOTE]
