[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 582657, member: 2736"] Remember, I am not trying to get Max velocity with a 300 grain 338 (I would probably go with a Excalibur) but just trying to see what can be done with a Rum Case. In theory I should be able to exceed the 300/338 or the 300/338 AIs velocity without all of the pressure. I would like this to be the case but who knows. According to PO Ackley there is a limit to usable case capacity and i have personally seen this (I have a 30/378 that will prodeuce a 30' fireball in front of the muzzle) from unburnt powder when copious amounts of the slowest powders are used. If it doesent reach 3000 ft/sec with a 300 grain bullet it will be ok. I will just have to evaluate whether it is worth the trouble or not for the gain. So Far there has been some interest In this project so I will keep going on it until I have a clear understanding of all the pluses and minuses. I finished my dies and can start reloading and testing now. Thanks to all for the interest in this project (I Though I might be wasting my time but apparently not). J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
