[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 203538, member: 505"] I just went over to that site and checked it out. Looks like that site is saying about the same thing I just did. Taking the 8mm rem mag and getting the same weatherby velocities which is what who knows how many of us did back when the 8mm came out. The velocities shown exactly duplicate the weatheby's in the ones I looked at which were the 7mm, 300, and 338 although the 8mm rem mag has slightly more case capacity. That is what we figured out 30 years ago. The cartridges are good ones. But instead of the expense of a custom that you can't go buy cartridges for, a guy could have just got a 7mm, 300 or 340 weatherby and got the same velocity. I commend the work on changing the shoulder angle and throat to achieve better accuracy and that is where the extra pay for a custom by a good gunsmith comes in. But there are tons of reamers out there changing the throat and neck on the weatherby's to acheive the same purpose. Again that is a good looking line of cartridges on that website. I am going back over there and look at some of the others. [/QUOTE]
