First - this appeared to be the best place to post this so if it's not mods feel free to move.
Now, I've known about these Nosler cartridges based on 404 Jeffrey cases (except for the 22....) for some time but never paid much attention ---- until, last year they came out with the 33 Nosler. Better ballistics than 338 Lapua and about 10-15% less powder. Now THAT really piqued my interest.
Sooo, I've got a 300 Weatherby mag (not a pretty one, synthetic stock etc..) and I *think* I can stuff a 338 barrel on it, open up the bolt by just a few thousands and won't have to make many other mods to rifle. This would be infinitely cheaper than buying the rifle outright and I haven't used the 300 WBY in ten years.
Just wondering if anyone else has been considering this (or any conversions to Nosler based on 404 Jeff parent case).
See any problems, etc I might run into? Suggestions? Good bad or indifferent give me some opinions please!
Many Thanks,
Art
