[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1094660, member: 2736"] I don't want to hijack Jayson's post so I will try to be brief. As most know, I really like the big RUM cases and have seen many wildcats based on this case. My goal was to find out how much I could increase the powder capacity in these cases to utilize the 250 to 300 grain 338 bullets for long-range hunting. There will always be a bigger case but maximizing the rum case seemed like the thing to do. The 338 Texan has already exceeded the velocity of cases with more powder capacity using less powder and no pressure signs. It is a very efficient case and with the 40o shoulder it should be a very durable case also. My plain is to develop a series of Texans from 7mm to 416 all using the same set of dies with different bushings. (IF possible). I already have a 30 Texan in the works that should also be a performer. I will post on the specs and performance of the Texan cartridges when testing is complete. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
