[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1762650, member: 2736"] For many years the 30/338 was the go to rifle cartridge for 1000 yard matches. It was one of only a few that were chambered in a factory rifles and custom rifles but no ammo was manufactured for it. Everyone simply neck sized 338 Win Mag brass and loaded it. The case dimensions are almost identical to the 308 Norma Mag and the loading data will work for both. With the slight differences in the two cartridges It is not recommended that one be fired in the other. After shooting it for many years, I retired it from Match shooting and started hunting with it. I found no down side to it's performance on deer and Elk. In my opinion it is a great cartridge and worthy of any effort to re load for it. As far as I know there is still no one that produces loaded ammo for it, But if you buy the 338 Win brass and a good set of dies anyone can load it for you if you don't load. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
