im pretty set on the 375 rum been wanting a 375 cal for sometime but not as big as the cheytac. want to keep rem 700 action for all the aftermarket goodies. I want to get a few different stocks. looking at the wyatt cfe9 box mag to I think I could get those 300gr ceb vlds to feed in it . jbm show that bullet at 3000 fps with 2000 ft lbs of energy at 1k.

Seekins makes a DBM that allow 3.9" OAL (It's what I'm using in my edge) The .375 350GR SMK may be a better choice if you go with seekins DMB. You'll need to have the smith throat the chamber for the SMK's for best results. Still I dont know of many people having a lot of success with the 375 RUM for ELR. How fast do you plan on launching those 300 Grainers?

AD Arms has built a few. He is out of North Dakota.

I have a Rem 700 in 338 Norma Mag, just like you said I got a PTG bolt w/Lapua bolt face.
Haven't got it feeding from the mag yet but will try using a HS Precision detachable mag set up and modified 300 Win mag, hope it works out.

Let me know if you find a mag that feeds reliably. I want to build a .338 NM rifle on a tube gun chassis.

Will do.

I contacted AD arms through facebook. If I go with the 338 norma I want to try the 280gr lrx. I seen some impressive hunts on here of with 338 magnums .
my favorite was of a elk that got hit at 800 yrds by a 300gr otm.
I have enough lapua ammo left over to sell and by a single stage press

got a picture of your lapua or is it still being built ? Going to chrono your loads im interested in what velocity you get . I did think about a modoified heavy palma contour where it steps down to 1.00" then it stays 1.00" to the muzzle instead of .900 but it would probably have more barrel whip than a cylinder barrel . plus id hate for them to make a mistake. I got ahold of pacnor they usually email me back soon

I thought I had a picture, but it doesn't seem like I do. I built the rifle 10 years ago, and traded it out a couple of years back.

I been talking to Andy at Ad arms great guy .
He was asking me how I intend to shoot it etc I told him prone position mostly
for target hooting. he recommended a heavy palma for a lighter muzzle over a cylinder barrel so it will balance better on the bipod . I like pacnors heavy palma the best because it tapers once after the chamber to .925 and then its straight cylinder to the muzzle .925 see point b and c are the same PAC-NOR Barreling, Inc. - Barrel Contours

I had asked him about using a savage action but he says a big 338 really needs a large shank I got no problem with the 700. just I could have got a savage action for less money .

Thanks for those links I'm going to get started reading them.
Andy said I can get a 300 rum action and he can fit a ptg bolt to it for the conversion.
