[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 130124, member: 4785"] I will also vote for the 338 Edge (338-300 Ultra) as the most practical large 338 conversian. Remington has now released a 338 Lapua but it is not a standard production item and the 378Wby case is a lot longer and it will limit you to a single shot the ultra mags have magazines available and work well. I have heard that Rem actualy made some 30-378's a long time ago but i have not seen one but a lot have been made over the years and now the Lapua case or 416 Rigby cas is being used as a basis for 338 wildcats and used on Rem Actions. If all is good the cases larger than an Ultra mag work but if you start to realy push the limits the tennon of the barrel will spring and you also have extra backthrust., If you load the 338 Edge hard you will get the same velocity as the 378WBY with a usable pressure in the Rem Action.
