[QUOTE="etisll40, post: 754254, member: 15229"] Sometimes I read that people say a Rem 700 is too small for a 338 Lapua, but I don't know where this comes from. If rem brought out a model on the 700 with the bolt face machined to 338 Lapua, they would have tested it thoroughly I'd think? George Gardner and many other shops have been doing it too, for many years. The military does too? Has anyone seen a scientific example of why the rem 700 is weak for 338 Lapua? I guess I'd like to dispel that notion unless it's documented. The 338 Lapua is a significantly better cartridge design then 338 rum or edge, case closed. The round has lower pressure to achieve the same results as the other 338's. Lapua brass is so much better that actually reloading costs are cheaper, and barrel life is longer. Lower pressure is cooler, that's what burns barrels out as I understand it. Am I all wet here. Remember, the 338 Lapua is going to be here for years to come, like the 5.56, 7.62x51, 300wm, 338 Lapua, 50BMG. The military establishes cartridges for the long haul and Lapua is going to make brass. What else could be simpler. Build one on a rem 700, there's a lot of data behind it already. Please comment if you really know or have documentation, I'd like to learn more. Thanks [/QUOTE]
