[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1245320"] A 338/26-Nosler is not much of a wildcat, close to the 33-Nosler but has more capacity. A 338/26-Nosler with a 28" barrel will do 3000fps without much trouble. A 338 RUM is not a wildcat at all. Loaded to magazine length it is the same as a 338/26-Nosler, maybe a bit of an advantage with sub 250 grain bullets. If you single feed and load long for more powder capacity then the 338 RUM has a nice edge on the 338/26-Nosler. A 338 Edge is not much of a wildcat either. Just neck up 300 RUM. Head stamp brass is available. It beats the 338 Lapua. Taking advantage of all that capacity means loading long. In the Vanguard that means unloading a live round could mean removing the bolt. Choose any of these 3 and with a 28 or longer barrel, you will have a ball. An Octagon barrel for long range would be a cool thing to see. Build it and they will go oooo. [/QUOTE]
