[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 588911, member: 2736"] Look at the 338 RCM. It is just a 338wsn and does not require a custom reamer and die set. Hornady and Ruger teamed up to build a WSM that uses the .338 bullets instead of the .323 (8 mm) bullets of the 325 wsm. The Hornady Superformance ammo is loaded near max and produces 2950 ft/sec from a 200 grain and 3864 ft/lbs energy. they also load a 225 that is slightly slower. The RCM stands for Ruger Compact Magnum. At least someone was listening, the wildcaters have been opening the 325 wsm up to .338 and they just made it a standard cartrige. Ammo is about $42.00 compared to $60.00+ for the 325wsm. I have built one for myself and another is in the works. Both are built on the Rem Mod 7 . Do a search on 338 RCM and there is a thread talking about it. Hornady makes the dies and PT&G made the reamer. This is a powerful little round and is considered an equal to the 338 Win Mag. Just a thought. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
