I'm going to have a 338 federal built and the gunsmith has a 338/08 reamer. Are these two identical/interchangeable? I don'd have drawings on either. Thanks!!

Possibly but I wouldn't bet on it.

The gunsmith shouldn't put the burden of knowing this upon you. All he has to do is ask the reamer MFG that question.

Jay,
For what's worth I talked to Clymer the other day. When I told them I couldn't find the dimensions of the 338Federal on their site they said it was the same as the 338-08.


As usual just my $.02
