[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 762043, member: 2460"] Recoil can be tamed with outstanding brakes like the Muscle Brake or the Painkiller...... Rifle is being built as we speak, waiting on the reamer and case forming dies to be made..... the .338 cal. version will be added at the same time as a second barrel for the rifle, here are some specs on the cartridge............ .350" long neck, 35 degree shoulder and case water cap. is 145.1 gr. (Quick Design estimate) attached pic has more case dimension #'s approx. 18 gr. more than the .338 Excalibur 23 gr. more than the .338-378 WBY 27 gr. more than the 8.59 Lazzeroni Titan 33 gr. more than the .338 Lapua Mag 37 gr. more than the .338 Edge 40 gr. more than the .338 Norma Mag and .338 RUM 62 gr. more then the .338 Winchester Mag (these are ammoguide water capacity estimates) all these estimates may vary + or - a grain or two, just a ball park comparison to give you an idea of case capacity....... If a 338 Win Mag is a hard recoiling cartridge for some shooters... this is not the cartridge for them , as this one has almost twice the capacity ! Haven't named it yet so it's still the .338-500 Jeffery at this point . reamer has been order per these dimensions... ....... [/QUOTE]
