    Model 700 4" COAL magazine?

    Is it possible to put together a rifle that feeds 4" COAL from a magazine in a Remington 700 action? If not, what action can I use? Do I have to step all the way up to .408 Cheytac type components to do this? I have a 700 BDL in .338 RUM I'm handloading 300 grain pills into, and the COAL is...
