[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2431557, member: 30902"] Nope, 338wm is based off of the .458wm who's parent was the 375 H&H case. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.americanrifleman.org/content/the-338-winchester-magnum-history-and-performance/[/URL] The .300wm was based straight off of the H&H and .264 as well. There is a 6.5-300wm wildcat but it has a little higher case capacity. At the time with the powders available the increased volume could not be utilized without seriously shortening the already short barrel life of the .264wm. [/QUOTE]
