[QUOTE="LongBomber, post: 589494, member: 14435"] The only issue I have is that the bullets 250gr and up eat up lots of space in the case. I have 338 wsm in a M70 classic stainless, the rifle was chambered to reach the lands with an accubond bullet and seating to fit in the mag. If you don't care about feeding from the mag, you could have the rifle chambered to have the bullets seated way out and you equal the 338 win mag. I haven't had a chance to chrony mine yet, just developed a few loads for it and went hunting. I think the 325wsm is a better fit in a short action, but the 338 has plenty of performance. I have a thing for the wsm, have the 7, 300, 325 and a 338, now to go smaller... Here is a pic to show you what I mean. The bullet on the left is a 8mm 200gr accubond, the two bullets on the right are 338, 250gr accubond and 225gr ttsx. Loaded 338wsm in the center.
