I’m liking this a lot…on paper.
Shorter and fatter allows for a magazine fed bullet loaded long without coal issues like the 338 edge.
Shorter and fatter also allows for a slightly shorter barrel, similar to a 7saum or 308.
I’m thinking a 23” 338 Norma improved in a xlr folder with a brake (later a TBAC 338 suppressor) shooting 285 eld-m around 2750 would be the ultimate elk rifle. Carrying weight would be around 9.5lb.
Curious if anybody has something somewhat similar? Mostly curious about recoil. I hate brakes but would brake this rifle until funds allowed for a 338 suppressor. Any flaws in my thinking above?
Thanks!
