You might not need your bigger 338 anymore Claw??

Exactly why I'm thinking of selling the 7mmSAUM. Not that much of a gap between the 7mm FatMax and the 338 Lunatic that needs another rifle. Would make one or the other semi redundant...

How about something completely different, a .458 SOCOM. not very practical for hunting in NZ but definitely different.

458 lott !!!!

Sell it to me.

what about a .17 x 114 russian? Nobody else would have one

Or

a .416 x .223rem

So here it is for Gav my new round

I feel I may need a custom mag box due to over all length issues with the high BC pills :grin:



The 416-223 Mad Max

You sure it will have enough powder to push the projectile out of the case? Let alone down the barrel..............

LMAO would be interesting to chamber or extract

You need to go the other way, 416 necked down to 223. I can't imagine Gav would have been thinking of a round as slow as the 223 necked up to 416! :grin:

my first choice was .17 x 114 russian

if you want something light and practical for hunting using a short action - based on a 243/308 parent - then have a look at .25-243(08)imp. This is a .243 case with 40deg shoulders shooting a .25 projectile. You can shoot a (relatively) high BC 117-120gn projectile at +3450fps or go lighter and faster. .25 are renown as being both accurate and very effective killers. Just a thought as I am contemplating converting a .308 rem 788 and this looks like an interesting option!!

Chamber it in the NZHS wildcat

338 in a short action surely has to be a 338Fed doesn't it? You have enought screamers, now you just need a stone cold killer. 338Fed fits that bill nicely.

Or I have some 6BR dies that need a home

Or a 6.5 Super AR
