What would you do for a large caliber rifle,
1- a .338 that shoots about 200 fps slower than a 338 Lapua mag but does it from a AR10 or DPMS LR semi auto rifle, 8-10 cases in a 20 round mag. Would also shoot from a short action 700 bolt gun.
2- a .458 that shoots a 300gr bullet at 2750fps from a 20" barrel also from a AR10/DPMS
3- a .338 that shoots 125fps faster than the Lapua Mag. but in a long action rifle (Rem 700) instead of a super long Lapua action that cost at least twice as much.
Obviously 2 different cases here, a big bore short range rifle(200-250yds) and 2 super long range hunter/cough..sniper type..cough rifles that would easily make it to 1000yds.
ETA- Since this is here what cartridge type would you like to see? Anything is possible as long as it isn't larger than the 500 Jeffery. big bore, small bore, AR 15 length, AR10 length but no light sabers. At this point in time no cartridge based on the 7.62x39 feeds reliably enough. Now if someone were to build a receiver with the front side of the magwell shorter so we could use curved mags then maybe. Anyone with a CNC? I'll draw it up.
A few choices, .223, 5.56x42, 6x41, 6.8SPC, 30HRT, 6mmBanshee, 6.5mm Banshee, .243, 308, 6.5 Reaper, .458DRT, .338 Reaper, .338 OMG!
All of those were designed to use in a AR15 or AR10 platform except the .338 OMG!. It fits a Long action Rem 700 bolt gun and out performs the Lapua mag.
the 6.5 Reaper shoots flatter than the Lapua mag out to 1000yds.
