What calibers share a common bolt face dimension with 300 Win. Mag?

This should be a learing experience for you.
Look at the base and either measure the base of the shell or get the book on cartridge design and record the dimension and look at other cases see what has the same dimension. Once you learn this it gets easier. If we give it to you no learning takes place.

Actually, most of the belted cartridges known to us today were derived from the .375 H&H. The 375 H&H was introduced by the British firearms company Holland & Holland in 1912 as the .375 Belted Rimless Nitro-Express.

The rimless magnum cartridges listed were derived from the 404 Jeffery.
