[QUOTE="alremkin, post: 75279, member: 3345"] My $0.02 on barrel burn out stuff...I have enough other rifles to not have to shoot an over bore magnum for practice. So other than load developement, which I believe you have said you will advise and assist your customers with this, I would imagine firing about 10 rounds/year out of such a rifle. Then, to fire 1,000 rounds would be 10 rounds x 100 years =1,000 rounds fired. A hunting lifetime and then some... The smaller caliber Allen Magnums should work for just about eveything in the lower 48 states. Being in Canada and mainly interested in huntig Elk and Moose in Grizzly country I much prefer the big 338's. Many years ago I fantasied about 338/505. I've heard that basically that's what the 408 Cheytac is, a redesigned, strengthened, necked down, 505 case. Please don't tease us about a new ultra 338. Tell us a bit more about it. Is it based on the Cheytac case? Or is it a somewhat toned down 338 Talbot? What have you got up your sleeve now?
