[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 466093, member: 24624"] Good points backwoods83, et. al. I just don't have formal training in designing rifles/cartridges. So, I don't want to make any fatal assumptions. It's one thing to go with a cartridge that Savage chambers in this particular action at the factory. But, my Lyman handbook shows notably higher pressure for 338RUM and 338LM than the 338 Win Mag which I think is the largest that Savage builds. ...other than the 110BA which may or may not be beefed up. On the other hand, safety is not the only reason they choose not to chamber other calibers. Sometimes it's just a matter of the business case. If I understand correctly, then you guys are advocating build it and work up the load starting at some point below 338 Win Mag levels and work up gradually. If the case, primer, bolt don't show signs of excessive pressure, then I should be all good? ...whereas overloading any cartridge, even a factory chambered .223 Rem would be dangerous anyway. thanks richard [/QUOTE]
