.300 H&H compatible bolt action

I have a Husquvarna I built with a 26 in Lija #3 bbl .I neck a 338 down to 30 call,its a 30-338.It is a bit shorter than a 300 Win,so I can seat bullets longer in a 30-06 length box.
I built that rifle to trajectory match a 200 gr Accubond to a Leupold B+C retcle sighted in @ 300 ydsI get 2900 fps..I live at 4800 ft and hunt higher.
That combination has about the same bullet weight and velocity at 700 yds that a 30-40 Krag has @ 100 yds.The 200 gr Accubond flies very well.
Its kind of fun because I worked all that out with Sierras Ballistic software before I ever started building.
Good for you,finding that Remmy!!

30-338 is very close dimensionally and performance-wise to the venerable .308 Norma Magnum, the reason behind Winchester making the 300 Win Mag just a little bit longer and different from all their other 2.5" magnums.
 
I haven't been able to get exact measurements on the magazine yet in my 700, but I just finished my first set of handloads for my 300 H&H. They are 185 VLD Bergers 3.640 COL. I also have a Rem 700 BDL 280 Rem. with the detatchable magazine. My 300 H&H cartridges fit right in the Detatched Box Mag even with the bullet seated out a bit. It appears both magizines have the same clearance in the front, ahead of the bullet. I'm not sure where the added length in the action would be, not sure there's any difference. I also got curious and attempted to swap bolts. The bolts interchange. That's all for the update. I'll shoot the new loads sometime this week. We'll see how she shoots...
