Has anyone here tried feeding .375 or .416 Ruger from AI mags? I'm thinking about swapping the bottom metal on a Guide Gun or custom building an American, but wanted to check if someone has already tested the feeding.

With an effective range of over half a mile, the 338 Lapua Magnum and 338 Winchester Magnum are two centerfire rifle cartridges that excel at long range shooting.
The 338 Lapua Mag is the rifle cartridge of choice for military snipers as it was developed to punch through body armor at 1,000 yards and bridges the gap between the 300 Win Mag and the 50 BMG.
The 338 Win Mag was part of the belted-magnum cartridge craze in the late 50’s and early 60’s and has been the go-to ammo of choice for dangerous game hunters across North America.
Capable of ethically harvesting any thin-skinned game animal on the planet, it is the preferred cartridge in Alaksa to protect yourself against belligerent grizzly bears or other large game. But which of these two magnum cartridges is the best option for your new medium bore bolt-action rifle?
For most non-competitive shooters, the 338 Win Mag will be more than enough cartridge to suit your needs while the 338 Lapua is most at home on the firing line for 1,000+ yard shooting competitions.
In this article, we will examine the advantages and disadvantages of the 338 Lapua and 338 Win Mag to help you understand which will work best for your needs.
What’s the Difference Between 338 Lapua and 338 Win Mag?
The 338 Lapua and 338 Win Mag are two centerfire magnum rifle cartridges that fire the same 0.338” diameter bullets. Although both rifle cartridges fire the same caliber bullets, this is where the similarities between the two ends.
One major difference between the two is the design of the cartridge case. The 338 Win Mag utilizes a belted-magnum design that became popular during the magnum era of the late 1950’s and was marketed for big game hunters while the 338 Lapua uses a non-belted case and was designed specifically for military use.
The 338 Win Mag was also designed to fit into a long action like a 30-06 Springfield, while the 338 Lapua requires a magnum action as it is a longer, beefier round.
Both 338 magnum cartridges excel at long range accuracy and precision, you will not find the 338 Win Mag on the firing line of a 1,000-yard competition that is dominated by 6.5 Creedmoor, 300 Wi

First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
The nurse asked the rabbit, “what is your blood type?”

When it comes to long range shooting and big game hunting, two rifle cartridges that are always in the discussion are 300 Winchester Magnum and 338 Lapua Magnum.
Both cartridges have an incredibly flat trajectory, exceptional terminal ballistics, and ridiculously high muzzle velocities making them excellent options for all your long range needs.
But how good are they really?
The Secret Service snipers atop 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue are locked and loaded with a Remington 700 action mounted in an Accuracy International chassis chambered in 300 Win Mag.
The #3 longest sniper shot on record was taken by Corporal Craig Harrison of the British Army in Afghanistan with a 338 Lapua at 2,707 yards.
If this isn’t enough of an endorsement, I’m not sure what is! However, does that mean that they are going to be ideal for your needs?
In this article, we will analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each cartridge to help you make a more informed decision on your new bolt action rifle purchase.
What is the Difference Between the 338 Lapua and 300 Win Mag?
The difference between 338 Lapua and 300 Win Mag is that the 338 Lapua fires a 0.338” diameter bullet and was developed for military snipers while the 300 Win Mag is a sporting cartridge that fires a 0.308” caliber bullet. Both cartridges are excellent for long range shooting.
The 338 Lapua Magnum and the 300 Winchester Magnum were developed with one goal in mind: long range shooting performance.
The 300 Win Mag was released in the 1960’s and has been a staple in the sporting community since its release. It has also seen military and law enforcement success as a clear upgrade to the 308 Winchester inn terms of trajectory, effective range, and kinetic energy at the cost of added recoil.
The 338 Lapua is a Child of the 80’s and was first designed as a military round developed to punch through military grade body armor at 1,000 yards. With an extremely long effective range, the 338 Lapua has successfully bridged the gap between 300 Win Mag and 50 BMG.
Although the 338 was designed to surpass the 300 Win Mag, they are more similar than you might think. Let’s find out how!

... keep reading on reddit ➡Hunters and shooters across North America love their 30-caliber cartridges. With the popularization of the 30-06 Springfield, the .308” diameter bullet became synonymous with stopping power and long range precision.
However, hunters and shooters wanted more power, muzzle velocity, and a flatter trajectory – and so, the magnum craze began.
Two extremely popular 30-caliber magnum cartridges are the 300 Win Mag and the 300 PRC (Precision Rifle Cartridge). The 300 PRC is a relatively new cartridge as it was released in 2018 while the 300 Win Mag was released in 1962. Both are capable of sub-MOA level accuracy at extreme long range and can take down elk and moose at well over 500 yards.
Although the 300 PRC has been optimized for use with heavier bullets with a high ballistic coefficient, the 300 Win Mag will be more than sufficient for most shooters.
Is it worth it to get a new rifle in 300 PRC? What advantages does it bring to the table?
In this article, we will examine both rifle cartridges to help you determine which will best fit your shooting needs.
What’s the Difference Between 300 PRC vs 300 Win Mag?
The 300 Winchester Magnum was developed in 1962 using a 375 H&H Magnum belted case necked down to accept a 30-caliber bullet. It was designed to fit inside a long action rifle and maintain supersonic flight well past 1,000 yards. At the time, the use of long, aerodynamic, heavier 30-caliber bullets was not something shooters were looking for, as most hunters didn’t really care about ballistic coefficient and were more concerned with penetration and stopping power.
In 2018, the ballistics team at Hornady looked to create a highly optimized 30-caliber magnum cartridge that could utilize longer bullets that were ideal for extreme long range (ELR) shooting. Hornady built the 300 PRC from the ground up, creating the ideal precision rifle cartridge to compete with the 338 Lapua Magnum with considerably lower recoil.
Both the 300 Win Mag and the 300 PRC can shoot past 1,000 yards and maintain accuracy. However, the 300 PRC will be better suited for shooting out past 1,500 yards and out to 2,000. This caught the eye of the Department of Defense (DoD) in 2019 and they ordered an [undisclosed number of Barret MRAD rifles chambered in 300 PRC](https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-army/2019/01/24/d
... keep reading on reddit ➡I was once perusing my local gun forum and someone posted a question, “Which is better for big game hunting in North America? 300 Win Mag or 300 WSM?” The users who answered all began debating differences in ballistics, case capacity, terminal performance, and ammo selection.
However, I’d like to pose a simpler answer: Yes!
The truth is that both rifle cartridges are more than sufficient to take down any whitetail, mule deer, feral hogs, elk, moose, caribou, or bear you set your sights on. Although there are minor differences in the ballistics of each, it’s unlikely any game animal will be able to feel the difference.
The question comes down to which type of rifle action you prefer, as a 300 Win Mag fits in a standard length or long action receiver and the 300 WSM fits in a short action.
Although the differences between the two cartridges are slight, it’s a good idea to know them so you know which 30-caliber magnum you want your new hunting rifle chambered in.
What Is the Difference Between 300 WSM and 300 Win Mag?
The 300 Winchester Magnum has been around since the 1960’s and has been a favorite for military snipers, big game hunters, and benchrest shooters alike. It is truly in contention for the title of America’s Favorite Magnum Cartridge and is the gold standard by which all belted magnum cartridges are measured.
The 300 Winchester Short Magnum (WSM) is a relative newcomer to the shooting community being released in 2001. The 300 WSM embodies the ballistic advantages of the 300 Win Mag and crams them into a short action rifle.
The result is a lighter rifle with identical barrel length and extremely similar external ballistics. Having a shorter, more maneuverable rifle can be extremely handy when elk hunting in thick brush.
Both rifle cartridges are extremely accurate and can easily achieve MOA to sub-MOA level accuracy with match grade factory loads or properly tuned handloads.
Although both cartridges are excellent for hunting or target shooting, they are not without their disadvantages.
Some detractors of the 300 WSM will point to its rebated rim, claiming that this might inhibit the ability of the bolt to push the cartridge from the magazine into the chamber. The 300 WSM’s steep 35-degree shoulders also play
