I had an original Remington Model 30S in 30 Remington. Talk about a big action and a small cartridge
ive got a Remington 1917 in 338-06.....makes a damn heavy 338-06, cant imagine a 30 Rem, must recoil like a 22
mine was my first custom and taught me alot about what not to do.....at some point ill turn it into a big bore.....
Well, I can tell you from personal experience that if you re chamber that beast to accept the 8mm RemMag/STW series of cases necked up, and if it has a 26 inch bbl, you will should able to reach 3100fps with the very aerodynamic and deadly 225gr Barnes TTSX. I have some 300gr Berger bullets to try which have way high BC's, looking forward to playing with those, too. My 338/8mm RemMag is on a re worked 1917.
