[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 515641, member: 2736"] I recomend any of the magnum bolt face cartridges. 338 Win Mag,340 Weatherby, 338 RUM. Etc. The Lapua is a great round but the case head is to large for the Remington without some drastic changes. The 338 RUM will fit with the bolt face opened up, an a extractor installation. Or simply buy a PT&G bolt with a magnum bolt face and an M16 style extractor. (Its not that much more expensive by the time you have the Smithing done) to make the 30/06 bolt work. The 338 Rum has slightly more case capacity than the Lapua and can match or beat it with the same pressures. There are other cartriges that are bigger but realy need a custom action or a Weatherby Mark 5 and both are expensive. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
