First,I want yall to remember you heard it here first,by ME. I'm going to design a new cartridge or 3 by necking down the .375 ruger case down to either 6.5mm/.270/7mm/.30/.325/.338 depending on how many actions,barrels,and stocks I can scrape up. As yall know well,I'm kinda partial to 7mm diameter bullets. I'm going to ask yall to chime in and give your opinion on which caliber I should build as very first one to neck down to.
I really believe this will make a heck of a cartridge with good accuracy,substantial velocity increase over 7mm rem or 300 win,all while fitting nicely in standard length action.
I think it would make a good .338 and .323 round, but it uses too much powder for the bores under .30. There are already too many overbore cases in .30, 7mm, and 6.5mm. Maybe .277" needs one, though.
