[QUOTE="adamjp, post: 2315798, member: 40749"] My 338 Norma is but on a factory Rem700 which started as a 300 RUM. Boltface opened up, M16 extractor fitted, action rails opened to allow the larger cartridge through. It works very well, 270gn ELD-X @ 2770fps from a 24in barrel on a 8lb 9oz rifle. I recently put a video up of the rifle repeatedly cracking a rock at 500+. If you load the cartridges within design limits, the actions are more than capable of handling it. Abuse them and trouble will follow. [/QUOTE]
