[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 2350751, member: 106514"] I "invented" one several years ago from a 325 WSM I dubbed the .355 Razorback designed as a short-barreled huge boar/moose slayer in close cover. I was unimpressed with my results in ballistic tests. The standard .35 Whelen easily equaled its speed/energy. Essentially the same thing as the Sambar with less working of the brass. I was using a 21" #5 Lilja barrel, so perhaps a Rock Creek or others with 3 more inches of barrel would have improved things. The throat was bored way too deep, so 2 MOA was the best I could do. That prototype was scrapped quickly. Sometimes things that look good on paper don't pan out. [/QUOTE]
