This is probably the explanation for Winchester's decision to market its own design of .30 caliber magnum cartridge, the .300 Winchester Magnum, instead of using the obvious choice of the .30-.338,




Many people believe Winchester wanted a little more powder capacity, and so moved the shoulder forward. As a result, the 300 Win Mag has a slight edge in speed over the 30-338.

Unlike Remington, which actually chambered 40X target rifles in .30-.338,




I would like to know more about this. The 40X actions I have owned were too short to eject a loaded round of 30-338 ammunition (although a fired case might clear). Did they remove the bolt to withdraw loaded cartridges? Or, was there a longer 40x action?

Take care, Tom
