The ReloadBench did have some traffic on this caliber w/ suggested loads.

Hello fspic,
your prodject seems interesting.
I do not know that cartridge very well, but maybe you will have better results by expanding the neck of 6mmbr Norma brass. As they are the best available on the market. You will probably have better neck tension and more regular internal volume,with them and therefore better consistency from shot to shot.
Another thing that worries me, is the regular feeding of that cartridge from the rifle mag into the chamber.
The 6mmbr (parent cartridge) is very fussy and is known to be a nightmare for proper feed in rifles.
I am not sure the 338 is much better. maybe using a control round feed action like a Mauser, or winchester pre 64 could solve that problem .
Any way, you can still use your xp100 or savage 110 in single shot mode.
Good luke .
