[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 53217, member: 34"] Sod Buster Try and go with a P14 with the Winchester or Remington stamp on it as 338 said. We call these actions the "Mule" at the Williamsport 1000 yard range. Many "Big" calibers have been used with these actions without fail. We tested them with loads right up to bolt lock up with the barreled action inside of a big earth mover tire and a long string on the trigger. Most other actions tested, Remington 700s, Mausers, P17s Winchester 70s all locked up long before the P14 did. It took 112 Grs of 4350 and a 250 gr 30 cal bullet to do it. A load that one would "not" use in the 30/378 even with a custom action. I had 10 of those actions and they went like hot cakes. Sold them for $125.00 with Timney triggers 10 years ago. I wouldn't try the P17 action for the Big case. P14 already has a large bolt face for mags. DC [ 05-25-2003: Message edited by: Darryl Cassel ] [/QUOTE]
