[QUOTE="TOM H, post: 10720, member: 306"] You can either use 7 mag brass and neck up or 338 mag and neck down. That's what I do. I've got two of them one has a 1/12 twist and the other a 1/10. Back in the 60's I read an article about the 30-338 and how Fred Huntington used it as an 1000 yd elk rifle didn't have the money back then but had one done in the 80's and the other in 1993. I know Rem made them the 40x and alot of talk before the 300 mag came out that Win new case might be the 30-338. With the new powders out you can pretty close to 300wby velocity with about 10 grs of powder less and I think some guys still use the 30-338 for 1000 yd matches. I shot a 308 Norma Mag for awhile but alot like to compare the two but big difference. For a wildcat to be around for over 40 yrs alot has to be said for it. Wilson make arbor die for it plus Redding has it in there type S dies. I don't know what twist your rifle has and if it's set up for match or hunting? I saw your post on Varmit (wildcat) section. For me I think it's a great round. Well good luck! [/QUOTE]
