[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 216223, member: 2011"] How 'bout this. 338 RUM in a single shot configuration in a Rem 700 action. Just barely long enough to eject loaded Aluminum tipped loads without any action alterations. Is behind the edge only 100 to 200 FPS depending on who loads which. 85 or so grains of 50 BMG produces around 2400 w/225 NAB out of a Remmy 26" sporter barrel. With the Holland QD brake there is no recoil. Pluses: - No need for a second barrel - No need for a strange and pretty much useless chamber such as 338-08 - No need for barrel vise or wrench. - No need for extra dies etc. - With 265s, 300 SMK Edge performance is duplicated or possibly improved. Minuses: - Not exciting at all. - Not nifty - No strutting rights at the range. Conclusion: Go with the switch barrel idea which allows much bigger dreamin';) That's what I'd do. [/QUOTE]
