[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1042893, member: 33822"] Like you said it's basically going to be a 338-06. Except now you have to neck up brass from 284 up to 338. I have known guys to neck all the way up to 375 starting with the 7mmWSM case, it just seems like a huge hassle. Can it be done? Sure... but why when there are so many easier ways to go about it. Necking up from 308 to 338 is much easier. the case necks are not worked as much and you will get more uniform, and thicker, wall thickness with a smaller 'donut' where the thicker shoulder has been formed into part of the neck. I also just checked on midway, and they have 338-06 A-Square brass in stock right now. Since weatherby chambers for the 338-06 in their factory rifles, I think that's the way to go if you want to stay away from the magnum cases. [/QUOTE]
