[QUOTE="Shawn Carlock, post: 13482, member: 4"] Skidly, The above responses are absolutly correct. The standard throat cut in 338 RUM will be to long to get to the lands and still fit in the box mag. You will either have shorten the throat (but this usually limits you from shooting factory ammo in it) or lengthen the box mag (will require some machining and smith work) or single shot it.
