[QUOTE="Black Diamond 408, post: 115860, member: 1563"] Trigger Fly; Yes my 338 snipe-tac is based on the 408 case. Barney lawton made the original bbl for me about 4 years ago for this wildcat, we brain stormed on twist rates. I built a special action just for the 408 case. Chey-Tac actually asked me to build them actions at that time, but i didn't have the time to mass produce. I have tried almost all powders that will work in the 338 bore. The US869 works just about the same as BMG50, WC872 shoots the best in my particular rifle. Barney was telling me last year that lost river was working on a 375cal bullet. What kind of groups are you getting with the 375 cal gun? The 338 version is simply outstanding, between my version and Kirby's 338AM, we push the 300mk up to 3500fps. I like to shoot mine right at 3400fps, with groups at 500yds in the 1" range. At 100yds they are one holers. That says alot for the big recoiling cannons. The big 350grn 338 bullets will fly at 3250fps. My gun is right at 16# with a detachable magazine. I mostly have customers that are interested in carry rifles for hunting purposes. My 10,3mm on the 50 spotter case is experimental for now, wonder what kind of range the 419 bullet would have if it reaches 3500fps. Pretty much all 408's run in the 2850fps range. I will have some results on my new wildcat later this year, The 50cal spotter case has been changed to a 35 deg shoulder keeping the body taper intact. The shoulder has also been moved forward. The case has a very nice look to it. Overal length is 3 inches, loaded with the 419 LRB it is right at 4.300 long. This case resembles a Win Short Mag on steroids. Dave [/QUOTE]
