[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1442152, member: 13110"] A RUM and a 300 Norma are 2 different animals when it comes to feeding in a Remington action. The Norma is quite a bit fatter and getting it to feed through the feed rails, even with a center feed mag, isn't as easy as converting a 300wm to a 300RUM. Chromoly is stronger then 416SS. It's the same reason Krieger won't make barrel contours as small in stainless as chromoly. Well they say they don't do it because stainless doesn't do well in cold weather but it's still a strength issue. The same thing applies to muzzle brakes. If you want them to stand up to long term rapid firing (think AR15's and AR10's) it's best to use chromoly and nitride them. Even hardened 416 can't hang with chromoly. Chromoly actions will experience lug set back with a 338 Lapua bolt face if you push them as hard as a custom. It usually takes a bit to be able to measure the change in headspace but it does happen.
