[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1778378, member: 38048"] I almost made the same thing about 6 years ago. I built my friend a smoking 300Rum and as we played around with it I just kept telling myself that's just too much case for the 30. I told him I want to make one for myself but I want mine to be the length of the 338. So basically a 30-338 Rum. It just seems to me Remington should have put the 7mm and 30 on the shorter rum case and then make the 338 on the 300 case. I never made one because the wsm seemed to be all I needed. I'm really impressed with the new Hornady cartridges. I was a hater. I was never Creed. Hornady was pretty much rock bottom on my list for components and tools and bullets. My friend from the 1000 yard matches wanted a 6.5 Creed and he even convinced me to try it also. We have won relays and match's with them and one weekend we both won our relay for group and score. You only get the win in group but it's cool when you get both. So I went from hater to wow there really is something there. Just look at the new PRC. They made it fit in actions with room for the bullets. That's basically it. The same thing the Creed is. 6.5 Creed vs 260. This is about as close to an answer I can give the op. Let's move the shoulder back so bullets sit in the neck properly and fit in the intended mag length. We lost some capacity in the case. We made it more efficient. We made it fit. And the performance loss is minimal. Yes the 260 can beat the Creed loaded long and the bigger 30s are going to outrun the 300 PRC. Capacity wins in the speed catagory. To the op if the slight loss in velocity is ok with your goal, then make it what you want it to be. As of now it seems that short mags and middle mags and long mags are here to stay. Shep [/QUOTE]
