[QUOTE="Demonian, post: 324509, member: 20463"] Yeah I started crunching numbers a bit more after posting this and came to about the same conclusion. I did find some people who disagree with the 1600 ft. lbs. minimum, though. If only I could remember where it was I read it. They were saying the 300 SMK needed considerably less energy to expand, somewhere in the 900 ft. lbs. range. Regardless, it is something I would have to play with, prior to ever taking a shot at that distance. The Berger would be a better choice in my mind as well and I hope they release their .338's soon. Thanks for the input, all. I have a lot to think about now. Time to go back to the books, crunch some more numbers and see if I can't get some better pictures of the magazine well of that stock. Get a better idea of how feasible it would be to machine it to accept a Seekins magazine, or just go with the single shot idea. [/QUOTE]
