Re: 338 Marlin Question
Ruger has stated their intentions to eventually re-introduce the previous models and calibers, although it will certainly take awhile.

FWIW, Lipsey's offers current exclusive Flattop models, both blued and stainless. I'm considering a 4 5/8 stainless 357 convertible (9mm)
Obviously - not the original, but still nice.

Howdy Bill,
The 303 Savage IS an interesting, vintage caliber. RCBS (and likely others) would certainly produce custom dies for you, if needed.
As you probably already know, copper solid bullets need to run full throttle to expand properly. Best wishes with your new endeavor !
