[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 962596, member: 33822"] Exciting stuff. Have you given any thought to whether or not this 338/26 would be built up as a hunting rifle that will require a muzzle brake, or do you think it could be handled without one? I think it will be very close. In the proper weight rifle I think this cartridge could go brake-less (not a big deal either way really). My 338 arsenal currently has a 338-300wsm, a 338 win mag, and waiting for a 338 RUM. Once you get this 338/26 tested out, it might have to join the others. My 338 win mag is nothing special, and my 338-300wsm is an ultra light pack rifle, so the 338/26 would really be the perfect gap filler between the 338wsm and the 338 Ultra, obviously performing closer to the ultra. Maybe you have mentioned it, but have you thought about what bullet or bullets you are planning on shooting with this 338/26 build? Maybe if I have some extras in the weights you are wanting to test I can send them your way as a way of helping out since you are sharing all of this with us. [/QUOTE]
