my question is,

You have a 338 Win Mag barrel with a small shank? Yes the threads for the small ring Turk is .980 in diameter. Not a big problem but I have Turks rifles with large ring receivers and large ring shanks.
Has a small shank/large ring Turkish rifle ever been chambered to 338 Win Mag, Yes. Did they blow up blow? No.
Would I chamber a LR/SS Turkish Mauser to 338 Win Mag? NO. But I would hesitate to ream the chamber to 8mm06. I am building 2 8mm wildcat bench rest type rifles using M1917 receivers.
