    Both. It was born as a 7mm Rem mag and that barrel was taken off and sent to Douglas where they duplicated the taper to match the factory barrel only in a 350 Rem Mag. Then it was re-chambered to a 358 NM later. It is actually more accurate as a 358NM than before.

    I agree 100%. The 300 Win mag would have had some serious competition if they had. The slightly longer neck and shorter OAL makes seating longer boolits for the 308 NM to fit the action of my Mark X Mauser perfectly.
