[QUOTE="Mangust1, post: 1301401, member: 100634"] I've been thinking for the last few days . ...... Please feel free to take stabs : ) Reamers for 338 Norma Mag can be ordered through pacifictoolandgauge.com. Wow! One huge " secret" already been dismantled. My gun maker recommended I send a blank round with how I want the bullet to seat for best results to facific tool and gauge. Suppose this can be done for any standard caliber (to customize the chambearing). What actually begs a question for me personally (before investing about 3.5-6 K into building a custom rifle in 300 Norma or 338 Norma mags) is there actual data compiled by a neutral/non-biased third party that is readily available and accessible by any shooter to show that 338 Norma mag any more superior to 338 Lapua? There is so much hype/bragging about it from people that use custom build rifles that naturally shoot better. I understand making the 338 Norma case shorter in order to accommodate longer higher BC bullets and to be able to shoot from a magazine. Is there more to it? IF, so, is there documented proof by non-biased third party that don't receive free STUFF/COMPS from interested parties? On that note, why not just "customize" the well known 338 Lapua chamber to allow the neck to seat deeper and get a custom longer magazine. We already have seen 300 win mag being necked down to 6.5 Creedmore and 300 win mag being necked down to 7mm. With these modern longer 30 caliber bullets and 338 bullets with 7 + ballistic coefficient perhaps one could considering slightly "customizing" the chamber area of the barrel and the magazine area to allow shooting these longer rounds from a magazine instead of "inventing/re-inventing" the already tried and trued cartridges.
