[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1119428, member: 2736"] Thanks for your input Jayson. I will start testing my 338 Texan soon. (The weather has been running close to 100o every day and I just don't like sweating all over my rifles to work up loads). the original concept was to come up with a cartridge that would push a 300 grain bullet 3000+ without any signs of pressure and targeted 3000 to 3100 ft/sec with pressures around 62,000 to 65,000 psi max for better brass life and a cartridge that could use a magnum bolt face and work in a 700 Remington or clone without special action requirements or mag lengths/boxes. With Jayson,s testing and my preliminary testing, it looks like it will meet or exceed my goals with the right powders and most bullets. (The chamber specifications are not bullet specific). When more testing is complete, I will post the specifications and pictures of my 338 Texan and my findings for powder and bullets. More to come from me and hopefully Jayson. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
