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 Words aren't Murder - Political assassination is MURDER Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?
