[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 804672, member: 11717"] Clint, I have another great idea for you! Do a wildcat off the 8mmx68S. [URL]http://stevespages.com/jpg/cd8x68s.jpg[/URL] Neck it down to 308 and push the shoulder down from 15* to 30* or 35* or 40* or whatever and blow the shoulder out from .478 to say .500. You will have about the same capacity as a 300 WM and it isn't officially a magnum, it's a 8x68S wildcat :D And you could have a nice long neck. You could load it mild or warm as you want with a slow powder like Retumbo and get anywhere from 30-06 to 300 WM velocities. And RWS brass is as good as any. You could call it anything you want like a 300 or 308 Breitwieser. [/QUOTE]
