I have a Remington 700 CDL in 300 WSM in which the magazine spring broke. Looking online I can find a spring for long actions easily. Short actions are tough and they only seem to be for cartridges based on the 308. Nothing listed for the short mags.

I pulled the mag spring out of my 700 in 338 win mag and it appears identical in length and height. Are they? Anyone have any insight on this?
 
Honestly don't know. Had my dad practicing with it for his up coming hunt. I brought it home last nite and as is my habit, I checked the chamber for any rounds before putting it in the safe. I noticed the follower was out of position. When I opened the floor plate the follower and half the spring fell out. There is some rust on the inside bend of the spring where it broke.
