[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1445433, member: 2736"] I personally won't build a 338 lapua on a remington action because of the bolt face requirements. If you want 338 Lapua performance there are other cartridges that have or will exceed the lapua performance that use a Magnum bolt face. If you just want a 338 lapua, Then a different action choice is best, I like using the Weatherby Mark 5 action because the 378 bolt face only has to be opened up 6 or 7 thousandths, and the 378 extractor works fine just like it is, Also the Mark 5 has a center feed mag box that can exceed 4.000'' . Other custom actions can be used that has a larger bolt like the Mark 5. It is not a strength issue with the remington, but the bolt recess thickness after it is opened up. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
