I don't believe you can go .338 with a .300 H&H case w/o blowing out the shoulder at least a little. The H&H has a narrow shoulder diameter to start with, less than that of a .30-06 from all appearances.

Well Dan,could the neck be .338" in length,do you think that would work? The .375 H&H has a smaller shoulder than the .300 H&H,would necking the .375 down be better?
