[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 838191, member: 11717"] I'm thinking if someone want to do this chambering, they would do it in a 26" or longer barrel. Since this is a long range site I doubt there would be much interest in it since it has about 10% less case capacity than the current popular LR 338's. That interest goes to the other cartridges mentioned in the thread, like the RUM, EDGE and Lapua. I would probably go with a Lapua Imp with a 28 or 30" barrel. If you have a shorter sporter barrel, you might consider a 338 WSM or RCM which would be much more efficient out of a shorter barrel, for short to mid range shooting. You would loose a lot of performance out of the 8mm RM and the other larger cartridges in a short barrel. [/QUOTE]
