[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 2028725, member: 60453"] You might also take a look at the Hawk line of cartridges. They make a 30 Hawk and a 338 Hawk that rivals the 300 winmag and the 338 winmag in velocity with the same bullets. But the Gibbs or the Ackley Improved will work nicely in either 30 or 338 caliber. The advantage to the Ackley Improved is that you can just shoot a standard -06 round in it and eject an Ackley Improved casing. The others require the brass to have a false shoulder formed and then be necked down to your caliber and then fireformed to move the neck forward. I'd go with the Ackley Improved cartridge and a 24 to 26 inch barrel, which will get near-300 winmag velocities and with judicious reloading will get into the 300 Winmag range. But I'm lazy. The Gibbs is a great cartridge. [/QUOTE]
