What bolt face for 300 or 338 NORMA

[South Paw Sammy]

I have a Remington 7mm Ultra Mag that I am wanting to re-barrel. (Never could get it to shoot) can I do one of the NORMA magnums? or What would yall suggest? Not sure if I am going to keep this a hunting rig or if I want to go more of the informal target side with this one? Figured I'd ask and get some suggestions?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank yall.

The Norma Mags take a 593 bolt face.

Thanks for the information, I wasnt sure what the bolt face on the ultra mag was.
so I can go the WSM, PRC, SAUM or Sherman route.

I fell for the 7 Ultra Mag trap one time too. Depends on what you want to use the rifle for.... If hunting, the 300 RUM is awesome. For a custom chamber, a 28-30 Nosler would be great too. RUM's are meant to run hard, brass life is short. Nosler's aren't much better. I have a 338 RUM built specifically to shoot one mile for fund raisers and schools. It duplicates 338 Lapua ballistics but brass last 3 firings.

Didn’t think about the 338 Ultra.

Thanks

What brass are you using?
I shoot 338 edge (338/300Rum) using ADG brass and 95+ grains of N570 and 265 or 285 solids at 3000ish and I’m at 9 loads now.

Remington and then Nosler. I'll look into other brass options when this batch is toast.
