Swapping 300 Winchester Mag barrel for a .338 Lupa

[medicinestick]

Have a Savage 110 FP in 300 mag cal.which I want to switch over to a .338 Lupa,what problems if any would I have with bolt face,etc.Thank you

I would strongly recomend the 338 rem ultra mag or the ackleyversion,

Not a good idea.
Not Strong enough.
I think it was SSS that said the lugs will set back PDQ.

People do built 338 Rums, Edges etc of Savage actions and
that works from what I understand, although I have not built one.

If its not a good idea on a standard long action, than what are the improvements to the 110 BA long action that savage makes other than a different bolt face? I wonder about this all the time! is the action beefier?

Thank you for the replies,think I will have to change my thoughts on this and perhaps go in another direction..

Seems like I remember everything around the lug area is thicker/beefier and the material is stronger but thats 2nd hand.
SSS is one person that knows for sure.

That definately makes sense!

Well on the 110 BA chambered 338 LM they went with a small port cut on the long action and only the 338 LM has that feature in a LA. It is only available on short actions in the Target Series otherwise.
