What's the longest cartridge overall length a Remington 700 action (currently on a LH 7 mm Rem. caliber rifle) will accept? Is the same action usable in 340 Wby? 416 Rem? H. C. | ||

The RUM cartridges, the 8mmRemMag (and it's decendants the 7mmSTW & 358STA) and the 375H&H are all the same OAL. AllanD If I provoke you into thinking then I've done my good deed for the day!

.416 Rem belongs to the .375 H&H/8mm Rem Mag family of cartridges as well. The .340 Wby should be OK, as it has the same case length as the .300 Wby Mag - both based on the .300 H&H. - mike ********************* The rifle is a noble weapon...

In a Rem700 BDL in 8mmRemMag I can get just a bit over 3.65". Is it possible to extend this any further?? Personally I wouldn't have a clue. Cheers... Con | |||

Yes, the RUM and HH based cases are the same length OAL... but the RUM holds what, 10 to ~30% more, depending if it's a 375 webby vs rum or 300 HH vs rum. jeffe opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?
