I was not suggesting something so overpwered as that but I am somebody who is never pleased with mach 1 of a design hence wanting to keep options open, if I were to build a 2-300m rifle eventually I would want it to be more eficcient, be able to shoot them in the eye at 300m and even do it on a windy day (but i would still shoot them in the shoulder :P). I like the idea of a short efficient case that will deliver all the energy you need for within the ranges you have suggested but would not want to be limited by action length and I wouldnt care if the end result was an action that was longer than the round needed (as seen in tikkas) I would go long or perhaps medium but definitely not short, you want to have good performance within 2-300 but that doesnt mean you cant ask for amazing perforamance to give spectacular results in both accuracy and terminal performance within those ranges firing heavy for calibre pills, doesnt need to be a marginal cartridge.Quote:

I do however like the 6mm pills and have been wanting a 6br to fill a gap in the gun cabinet but would not consider this as something to fit the bill you have described
I think something in 6-7mm firing long pills with a square shouldered case would be cool so medium would probably fit the bill to deliver the performance but why handicap yourself if you are going to build on a tika (as suggested, which would be good for the AI designs) where you could just buy a medium magazine if the round ended up shorter
bajeezus its obvious: a 6.6/06 Beastman
(projectiles may be a little hard to come by - better order up some forming dies at the same time :-)
Can we think outside the square with the case material?
It seems brass no longer needs to be the the weak link.....

Can we use Hornady Superperformance powder?
This is a seriously interesting read ..........http://www.hornady.com/assets/files/...technology.pdf

Can use any powder
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
That would need a great suppressor or muzzle brake........recoil :DQuote:

Built one years ago, identical performance to a 338 WM I had at the same time :)Quote:

Think 45/08 (or 45 /06 for that matter) Or 9mm x39 for shits and giggles........
I had a 338wsm that blew the guts out of a McMillan stock. 250gr Sierra's at 2680fps
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!
Could be intresting build. Was thinking of doing 338-375r as i have a xtra magnum action and stock. Run the 225 ab
