[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1131058, member: 12443"] If you were to talk to gunsmiths with a known reputation for building long range rifles, i doubt you'd find any (reccomending) a standard type action with a standard magnum boltface. But if you ask the question to enough people on sites like this, you will hear the answer you (might) be looking for. A custom action would be the best choice. A mark V Weatherby, or a 995 3 lug Saco action both having large bolt faces would be acceptable also in my opinion. 30 or more years ago, the late Howard Wolfe created a wildcat cartridge based off the then wildcat 30x378 cartridge. Known locally here as the short version 30x378, or the Wolfe version, it was primarily intended for Williamsport use. The case is almost identicle to the Norma case and has a capacity within 1 grain of water. I have one built by Howard on a mark v action i use for long range deer hunting. It has lots of rounds thru it and hasent shown the slightest signs of any problem. As for the 338, my opinion is if it isnt a 3000 fps gun with 300 gr bullets then stick with the 30 cal. [/QUOTE]
