I'm going to go for a 300wm. Action works good and no hang ups.
Caliber?

Because he hasn't found a round that fits in the chamber yet. 338 won't go in, 300rum is so tight that it has to be pushed out.

Obviously you can do whichever you like, but I think your posts are at at times a little unclear to those who are trying to assist.
You mentioned a 338 RUM had to pried be out? I want to make sure that you were referring to being pried out of the magazine.
What happens when you do not use the magazine at all and drop a 338 Rum into the chamber and close the bolt? Will the cartridge chamber and the bolt close normally? If the answer to that question is yes, then you have a 338 RUM but the wrong mag box and follower.
Changing the mag box and follower is a very inexpensive solution and you will have a 338 RUM like you wanted.

NOT the chamber. He can't fit it through the feed rails into the magazine. It chambers fine.

If it shoots well and you still want to change it, dibs on the 338 barrel
