[QUOTE="ehryk, post: 1066959, member: 29343"] This. I did the same with my .300 WSM after rebarreling it. All worked out well, but as a caveat, it was a mildish load to begin with. Accuracy remained the same and I only gained a few FPS doing it. I would say be sure to chrono the loads on a shot or 3 to ensure they are within the safe limits. Edit to add: After reading the whole thread (/blush), be sure to check that the bullet isn't stopping the bolts progress from hitting the lands. I am not entirely sure, but a Wylde may not have quite the free bore as a Nato chamber. It's something to consider, but also easy to spot. Clean up a round and attempt to chamber it. If you see rifling marks on the bullet, they are too long. If not, the cases are most likely too long at the shoulder. Oh, also, check neck lengths. My .338 can take a lot longer brass than most Savage .338's. [/QUOTE]
