I saw it at a gun show the other day. Its looks like fun!!!

Kinda reminds me of the 375/50BMG I used years ago. 5300fps with a Barns 250 grain solid.
Fast it was but MOA it was not!

Sounds like the 338 Talbot (50BMG necked to 338). I do not remember how fast it pushed the 250's but it was way up there.

Of everything on that page that's the bit that made me look twice.

Why not just build a 338-50bmg, or heck a 338-408 Ct imp, you loose a few hundred fps, but you can buy one, with an extra barrel, all your reloading stuff, and a US optics scope on top and be out ahead that the rifle and 10 cartridges will run you.

I wonder if the $100ea shell comes with a new barrel?lol

I shot the 375-50 BMG IMP quite a bit and it was outstanding at long range. I took two manikins out of a jeep at over a mile with two consecutive shots. I think the 338 version would be way to hard on barrels.

338 AM is the same thing as a 338-408. Another company not far from me make a 338 Extreme based on the same case. 3200fps with 300SMK.
