After reading another thread here a few days ago, I have been kicking around the idea of using 300 win mag brass to make a long neck 338 win mag. Basically, take the 300 win, neck it up to 338, and push the shoulder back to where it is on the 338 win. This would let you maintain the capacity and overall length of the 338 win mag but with a longer neck more suitable for longer bullets. Has anyone here tried something like this before, and, if so, how did it work out?

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA
