[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 134965, member: 4785"] get the ultra mag if you want it to streach out the distances then the ultra will do it better than the 300 Win MAg and no belt to wory about. the accuracy should be similar as the rifles are the same with just the chamber different but the 300 ultra can be loaded down to 300 win mag velocity but the 300 win mag can not be loaded to 300 ultra velocity. as you have said you will likely get an edge down the \track when the barrel is dead how long will it take you to shoot 1000 rounds a few years at least you will likely rebarrel before either is shot out and the 300 ultra gives you a sizing die that can be modified and you can also just neck up your left over brass to 338 and keep using it when you rebarrel with a match barrel you can also use the muzzle break on the 338 by having it opened up a little when it is fitted to the barrel. Just make sure you also bed the action with good bedding compound like Devcon or similar and i would have an oversize recoil lug fitted when the muzzle break is fitted and square the front of the action. A full true up is not totaly required but just squaring the face of the action fitting the larger recoil lug and lapping the lugs will improve the rifle no end. Cheers Bill Australia [/QUOTE]
