[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 346929, member: 5219"] Benchracer, If you are considering going with a wildcat another would be the 338/375 Ruger. It is very similar to the 330 Dakota. Being a shorter case it would fit better in a standard length action and magazine. It should also offer a slight velocity advantage over the 338/300 win mag. Rick Bin of 24 hr campfire made one. Here is the some of the thread: [url=http://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/1948586/3]Ask Rick Bin Questions About the .338-.375 Campfire - 24hourcampfire[/url] 88.5 of Ramshot Magnum behind the 225-grain TSX grains to reach a max safe pressure of 50,000 psi. It's a 24 inch barrel. At 82, 83, and 84 grains, the chrony did not register due to a shadow. Next cease fire I re-arranged and began getting some love: 86 grains 1] 2820 2] 2784 3] 2817 Avg 2807 ES 35.70 SD 19.97 87 grains 1] 2890 2] 2868 3] 2862 Avg 2873 ES 28.03 SD 14.73 88 grains 1] 2842 2] 2851 3] 2917 Avg 2870 ES 75.38 SD 40.95 89 grains 1] 2966 2] 2955 3] 2954 Avg 2958 ES 12.32 SD 6.63 --------- I am seriously considering this chambering. Just recieved notice that my backorder from Midway will arrive soon. It is a bag of 50 375 Ruger brass. Now I can see for myself how it fits and feeds from a Standard sized Remington. I figure it will be my next build after my 358/338 RCM is finished. What ever you decide enjoy the ride. [/QUOTE]
