[QUOTE="slm9s, post: 1047353, member: 13447"] I'm having a 338 RUM built for LR/ELR. Defiance long action, Kreiger 30" barrel, LA Mcree's stock with their mag. I don't think I'll use it for hunting, just banging away at far away targets for fun. I know I'm going to run into OAL issues, I'll have to balance bullet weight/bc vs taking up powder room in the case. I was thinking 300smk's because they give great weight, very good bc, and are much shorter than the 300 bergers. But, when I made one mag-length, its AWFULLY deep in the case. Anyone else go through this and have a better suggestion? 250 scenar? 250 berger OTM? Or, is it just a lost cause to be mag fed with this system and I should tell my builder to throat it to feed 300's single-shot style? Or, is there a much longer mag system I can use? I could change stocks/dbm if it would solve my issue. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
