[QUOTE="MoBoost, post: 1561816, member: 3455"] Is 338 Lapua an advancement over straight wall rimmed black powder cartridge .... I sure hope so. I can't really argue against 338. Even considering that it's a neck down of case designed in 1911, it did everything I was hoping for: substantially less recoil and more energy down the range even over 416 Rigby. Yes, 338L is awesome. But, here is where I don't give up easy: take 7x57 and scale it 22% up. SPOILER ALERT: Caliber: 340 Case length: 69mm Base: .572" Alpha 40deg Well if you consider "bigger is better" - than it is definite "advancement"; I call this "imitation is the highest form of flattery".
