338 Fed identical to 338/08???
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.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

I would agree that the smith should find out !
But I would find out too ! Prety cool cartridge, I have a Sako 7579 that may well be a .338 federal onw day, but who knows...tj3006

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
