    If your looking at something in a short action to stop most things in there tracks up close that is short and very handy, what about a 416-300 saum shooting a 300gr-350gr Barnes TX
    1000yds is fun, 1500yds is getting interesting, 2000yds is exciting, 2500yds will blow your mind

    That would need a great suppressor or muzzle brake........recoil

    300 saum with 208 amax would be ok in a SA

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    I like the idea of basing it on easy to get donor brass such as 308. But I have a thing for double rifles so a slight taper with little or no neck. Something that uses lotsa lead and goes BOOOM instead of Bang.....Neck the case out instead of in, go slower (ish) and bigger with the projectile. Think 45/08 (or 45 /06 for that matter) Or 9mm x39 for shits and giggles........

    I like the sound of the 338WSM and have been thinking about building one, should go well on a short barrel (maybe 18") and be an efficient and easy to make round. Would be an awesome bush gun for the roar and still be capable of some down range punch too!
