[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 345116, member: 505"] JE is pretty much right on. When the 300 ultramag case came out 338 nuts immediately saw the benefit of necking this case to 338 and duplicating 338 Lapua velocities on a standard magnum action. Wow, the landslide began. Now anybody could convert there standard magnum action to the 338-300 ultramag and hit 338 lapua velocities without the expense of the big Lapua bolt face action. Life was good. Then everyone found out what a shooter it was. If there was ever a natural this one was it. Low velocity spreads, extreme accurracy, it just did everything well and put anybody with a magnum action inexpensively into a big time 338 with just a rebarrel job. This was the beauty of the 338-300 ultramag. I started building them within weeks of remington introducing the specs on the 300 because I had been looking for a standard case like this to wildcat in 338 for years. I had been working with the relatively new Lapua case and improving it but again you had to have a spare wby mk5 action lying around or buy a custom making the ultramag case very attractive. By the turn of the century I had done over a hundred of them and every one of them just shot lights out. But then in about 2002 remington introduced the 338 ultramag which does the same thing and feeds through a standard magnum action better. I ran it through the ringer and it was also a shooter with about the same performance so I just saw no need in wildcatting the 338-300 after that. I hope Shawn sells a million of them this year and wish him nothing but the best because I guarantee no shooter would be unhappy with his edge. [/QUOTE]
