[QUOTE="Hicks, post: 166485, member: 9129"] I've been dreaming about doing this one for a while now, but I'm really saddened by the figure you quote for the muzzle velocity. I had this idea a long time ago after I read an article Craig Boddington did on the "Big 8" (if I remember the title right). I've owned an 8mm Rem Mag for many years and I love it but I was really impressed with the fact he gets 3200 fps + out of a 27" bbl. So the thinking goes "bigger case, more speed". I assumed that one could get at least 3200 fps with a 220gr bullet and probably more. Now I'm thinking I should just re-barrel my 8 mag and call it good. [/QUOTE]
