[QUOTE="Eric Stecker, post: 535192, member: 8908"] To clarify that specific point, when we were asked to make a 338 cal 300 gr bullet for the military, Bryan had already created 3 different designs. These designs were optimized for peak performance and were created with no consideration given to feeding these bullets through a magazine. We were intially concerned that Bryan's original 338 cal Hybrid design would have a nose that is too long to work in the magazines. As it turns out the 338 cal rifles used by the military are the exception rather than the rule when it comes to magazine box length. These rifles have proportionally longer than typical magazine boxes which allow for a longer nosed bullet. Admittedly, we would like another .150 COAL for increased case capacity but what they are using now works good enough. So as it turns out the original and most optimized 338 cal Hybrid design Bryan created works at a COAL for magazine feeding and can be loaded longer for increased case capacity for those who single feed. I'd say in the end things worked out quite nicely for everyone. Now if we can just convince the rifle makers to increase the lengths of magazine boxes in other rifles we'll get immediate improved performance in these rifles as well. That is a discussion for another thread though. Regards, Eric [/QUOTE]
