[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1154001, member: 2736"] The 300 RUM has an overall case length that is longer than the 338 rum. (2.85 for the 300. and 2.760 for the 338) giving you .090 more room for the 300 grain bullet to fit in the Magazine. (Both cartridges use the same action) [url]http://www.saami.org/PubResources/CC_Drawings/Rifle/300%20Remington%20Ultra%20Magnum.pdf[/url] [url]http://www.saami.org/PubResources/CC_Drawings/Rifle/338%20Remington%20Ultra%20Magnum.pdf[/url] So with the 300 grain bullet you will have extra mag length with the 338 rum and the chamber can still be a SAMME chamber for best performance. The 338 RUM performs really well with 250 grain bullets so you might want to look at them also. Fortunately there are lots of wood stocks for the 700 Rem with varmint forearms and Sendero barrel channels. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
