7mm-08 Rebarrel to 338 Federal

[rjhans53]

the 338 fed is an awsome caliber. I've ended up shooting the 160 barnes for deer and caribou. The 200 bullets do a good job as far as that goes but the 160 barnes sitting on re7 (max per barnes) shoots a clover at 100 out of my sako, it is coming out of the tube at around 2900 and recoil isn't as much as a 270 with a 150 grain pill. The savage isn't as good as group it's only a 1 1/8" gun, but it's 1 1/8 rain shine or anything else I've ever took it out in.

Is the 300 WSM a short action cartridge?

Yes
