[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1371974, member: 22069"] IMO, the keys to 338 Sherman performance have been the introduction of powders and bullets that are a better match to the Sherman case capacity. The .338 WM sits in a no-man's-land in terms of case capacity. It is larger than it needs to be to properly utilize H4350 class powders, and too small to utilize powders like Retumbo or H1000. I do think RL-26 could be a game changer for the .338 WM and, based on my experience with it in the 338 Sherman, I believe it could work a bit better in the .338 WM. For someone who already has a .338 WM, that is the direction I would go to maximize it. I think an M70 chambered for 338 Sherman would make for a very nice build. One advantage of the M70 over my Ruger is the availability of a Wyatt's extended box magazine for it. [/QUOTE]
