Probably need open up the bolt a little.Could you rebarrel a .300 Weatherby Action to a .338 Lapua?
Over the years quite a few have used the (Mark V ) action for 30x378s due to the large bolt diameter.Could you rebarrel a .300 Weatherby Action to a .338 Lapua?
Probably need open up the bolt a little.
Why go trough that trouble if you can go for a 338wm with a barrel swap alone?
400fps more for a 200grain bullet?
What do you want to kill and at what distance?
If trouble or cost is not an issue 338 Lapua and Norma are in my opinion better cases.
Over the years quite a few have used the (Mark V ) action for 30x378s due to the large bolt diameter.
It works well for the 300 Norma also.
If you have the action, thats one thing, but if you need buy a gun for the action it then becomes another thing.
With the cost of some of the new custom actions today it makes little sence to by a Wetherby just for the action, and still be lacking as for an action.
To be both rational and booring then I guess you already has lots of 300weatherby brass so necking this up to 338wm would be a cost reduction.I've already got the rifle. Pretty sure the barrel is shot out. I started this thread inquiring about the possibility of a rifle build on the Mark V action and the concenses seems to be that is a hell of an action.
If you find an reamer for improved I guess you would make up more of that difference..with a 225 gr bullet the Win mag might be 2850 fps and the Lapua 3000-3050 fps?
If thats all the difference I think the Win mag is a no brainer.
Ive been watching bullets fly across wide windy valleys for a very long time at this point.I've already got the rifle. Pretty sure the barrel is shot out.

What options are worth it and whats not worth it?Top is McMillian, middle is Bell and Carlson, bottom factory.
