[QUOTE="Black Diamond 408, post: 179510, member: 1563"] I built a simialr rifle to this many years ago (before any short mags were around) I took a 348 win case, improved it to 40deg shoulder, removed the rim from the case, cut a new extractor groove. It was put into a 600 rem action, Kevlar stock, light contour 22" bbl, 1-4x scope. Whole package was around 6# when done. The guy wanted a carry rifle for long treks during Elk hunts. His results were that and a bit better than that of a 338 win mag, only in a short action. He used 200grn horn soft points. that was the only one of those i ever built, mostly because of making the brass. It was a specialty project the customer wanted and designed most of it him self. He still carries it with him for a back up rifle. He now hunts with a 338-416 rgby imp, long range version. Somthing on the short mag case in 338cal does make a nice carry rifle with heavy hitting potencial. [/QUOTE]
