[QUOTE="bookworm, post: 569053, member: 13840"] As usual, great info...that bolt face info was exactly what I was looking for. Of course I do have a couple follow up questions: One issue I'm having is that the Tikka detachable magazine does not have much "extra" room to load VLD's for long action cases like the 338. My initial thought was to go with a short action round that would fit the 338 bolt face. If I put a new McMillan stock on it, is there a way to open up the magazine well for longer rounds, or is the stock made to fit the factory magazine? AZShooter - thanks for the tips...I've heard of feeding problems on the WSM cases so I'll need to experiment with that a little bit. I don't know much about SAUM or RCM cases, so I guess I have some homework to do on that. LongTimeLongRanger - I'm interested in why you think the 338 WM is far better than the 7 wsm. I'm reading up on the 338 Sin...but won't I have the same problems with the short magazine with the 338 Sin as I am with the 338 WM? Are there other solutions to that problem other than rechambering?
