Never again will I buy a rifle chambered in a cartridge with a rebated rim. I just spent a couple of days resolving a feeding problem with a WSM when the left hand cartridges in the magazine climb the feed ramp and the bolt slips over the rebated rim into the extracter groove. Give me the .338 RCM or 6.5 PRC designed cases or even the .338 Win Mag. any day without rebated rims! And in a .338 when you might use it on bears up close, a feeding problem due to a rebated rim is the last thing I want.
