[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1245165"] Hi Sam4485, JE and others are correct about the VG bolt face. It is .680 and the base of the 338LM is .590. Add clearance and there's not much left. I didn't bother to measure the mag length. It is possible, however, may not be practical. It appears easier and depending on your DIYness, cheaper to use something else like a Mark V or other action that has 338LM already. As for the 338/26-Nosler (338/28-Nosler same thing). I know a guy who has all sorts of data. His name is..... me. I thought I entered it on one of my Nosler wildcat threads. I have flown every 338 pill I could with that thing. Everything fits the magazine, feeds perfect out of something that was a belted magnum or Weatherby magnum or RUM with no modifications. Tell me what pill you want to push, what barrel and what purpose and I can give you numbers. [/QUOTE]
