[QUOTE="David P. Herne, post: 28868, member: 29"] Brent, ****, bro! You're just full of surprises. We must be on the same wavelength or something. And yes, .338 LM Improved is the only appropriate name for the subject cartridge. I assumed DANTEC was right in his comments, however. I didn't think the shoulder angle could be significantly increased without also changing the case body taper as well. But if you're planning on doing it, then more power to ya! I really love to get a dummy round from you when your dies come in, too. By the way, whose making your dies? As for the other .338 barn-burners, I've recoiled from them like I have with the Lazzeroni-class wildcats in almost every caliber. I suppose I'm pretty fickle in that respect. I mean, I like big, fast cartriges. But I'm also always saying to people: 'Let's be reasonable now!". It really revved me up, for example, when we went from driving caliber .338 250-gr projectiles to a MV of 2750 fps with the .338 WM case to driving that same projectile to a MV of 3000 fps with the .338 LM case. But when Lazzeroni then came forward to show that their case could drive the subject projectile to 3250 fps, I thought to myself: "I feel for the rifle out of which that son-of-a-bitch has to be shot"! But even more importantly, I've just always felt as though it was time for a man to look at a larger caliber cartridge once he started wanting to see, for example, a caliber .30 cartridge shoot a 180-gr projectile to a MV of > 3400 fps!
