Does anyone Know anything about this cartridge. What kind of speed and accuracy can I expect. Where can I pick up brass and dies for a critter like this. Any help would be great THANKS

this is the same as the 30-338 round basically. I'm not real sure if it would be much different than the 300 Win mag.It would be a good long range ,BIG critter gun, IF, it is accurate! 338 brass can still be found and 30-338 dies too.

If you can find P.O. Ackley's handbook's, theres two I know of, you'll find info on it. Be real careful with data out of those books also. Most that I've used, in other chamberings, have been fairly hot and the powders have changed some.

I knew you had a site. I have data from your site at home. Most complete data I've found. I was going to mention you but couldn't remember the name of your site and can't even pronounce your screen name much less spell it. By the way, the data I use is for my 6.5x06 and I started using it befor I found other published data. Better than the Ackley data.
