I just saw a picture of a .338 Winchester Mag cartridge and thought of a cool wildcat. Does anybody know if there is a .358 or .375 wildcat based on the .338 Win Mag? Just thought that might be a pretty good combination, especially the .375. 250 grain bullets, probably 2700 or so feet per second with that frontal area? Seems like a good combo.

CB,

I have heard of the .30-.338. Instead of a .358-.338 I woud suggest a .358 Norma Mag.

Yeah, I know the .30-.338 is the about the equivalent of the .308 Norma Magnum. Wasn't sure about the .358 though. Does anyone know about a .375-.338?

DM

yes, it's been done. A more popular wildcat where i lived was, a 300 Win mag. necked up to .375. I wasn't too impressed, but to each his own.

the 358 one would be the 358 norma equivalent, dunno offhand bout the 375

Necking up the .338 Mag case to .375 is known as the .375 Taylor and is a superb dangerous game round and is equivalent in performance to the .375 H&H magnum. It's also necked up to the .416 bullet and that's known as the .416 Taylor.....both fine wildcats for hunting the biggest stuff on ther planet.
