[QUOTE="Varberger757, post: 1064680, member: 66992"] Thanks a lot for your post! Both the 9,3x64 and 8x68S were constructed to fit the traditional standard M98 - action, and they do perfectly. But I do know very well that the rim of both may cause issues when using commercial actions as Rem 700 and others. Messner himself admits that this is kind of a disadvantage for his otherwise great cartridge. All his new constructions like the tremendous 8,5 (.338) Messner Mag. or .375 VC are using the "traditional" 375 H&H rim. Of course rebated and belt-less. I've heard some rumors that Messner [B]sooner [/B]or later will release both a very powerful 7mm/.284 and 8mmS/.323 based on the standard rim, but with a totally new constructed and optimized case. Not only I'm looking forward when this story becomes reality. It was funny when you mentioned the extremely powerful 9,5x66 SE, because I think that the 7x66 SE, which gave the parent case, is one of the best 7mm Mags ever made. I have given some descriptions of this great round here on LRH, but as you might know ... :) BTW, I didn't know anything about Dave Tooley's Boo - Boo series, so there is something new and interesting to learn every day.
