[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1597155, member: 2736"] My only problem with cartridges like is the body taper per inch. I love the shape of the design for accuracy and efficiency and subscribe to this type of case for my wildcats. PO Ackley recommends that you do not go with less body taper per inch than .007 thousandths for dependable extraction. This is not unusable in a precision bolt action rifle with prudent loading (Not over pressure loads)and fired cases can be extracted. In a defense weapon more body taper is recommended/needed for dependable feeding and extraction under severe conditions. the 308 win has .012 thousandths per inch of body taper and the 338 Lapua has more than double that, Making both of them very dependable. If I were to chose or build a rifle for long range hunting, i would chose a cartridge with these design features. If it was to be used in the Apocalypse It would be a totally different design with the features of something like the 338 Lapua. (Lots of body taper a lower shoulder angle and lots of freebore. In my opinion, it is a good choice for performance, but a poor choice for use it the military for all the reasons I listed. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
