[QUOTE="Good, post: 471124, member: 18866"] The 338 Norma Mag also has the Lapua bolt face so there's another option. It is good starting with the big bolt face as you already have a large cartridge capability concerning mag feeding, etc. I would stick with the 338-378 if I were you as it performs well and you will not need to mess with the bolt at all, just re-barrel, and you can purchase the brass easily, although pricy. Even though I'd like to have a Lapua improved or Allen Mag, I don't like the idea of having to modify brass and all the work that that entails. I'd rather work up loads and shoot, but you may not mind all that. You can also purchase the Norma Mag brass without having to modify it. Another option out there is straight 378. Now that high BC 375 caliber bullets are out there and becoming more prevalent, this option may be attractive to some... [/QUOTE]
