That looks quit a bit like a .338 A-Square? Am I wrong? Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.

I'd have called it a .338 Win Mag! /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." Winston Churchill | |||

.338 Win-Mag. See the belt? The A-Square (338-06) is a beltless non-magnum cartridge based on the 30-06 case necked up. That picture is of a belted magnum... sooo, I'm going along with vapodog on this one and saying it's a 338 Win Mag.  Jeremy "Trust in the Lord with all your heart.

Well slap me up side my head! The .338 A-Square is a slightly shortened .460 Weatherby case, reformed down to .338. I did see the belt, and noticed the sloping case walls, which is why I thought it was the A-Sq. I wasn't thinking of the .338'06 A-Sq.

........I think its a 358 Norma mag ... Nitro , The other option I was thinking was the 375 A-Square ,, To me it appears to have to large a diameter bullet to be a 338 ,,,,,,,  .If it can,t be grown , its gotta be mined .... | |||

Actually it is the .338 Winchester Magnum, check out the original photo:  That's off the .338WM reloading page here. Flip it 90 degrees and put a framing effect around it and there you are. ________  "...And on the 8th day, God created beer so those crazy Canadians wouldn't take over the world..." | |||

.........To me it almost looks like Kablueeeee,s 366 Alaskan , but not quite ....But the bullet looks too wide to be a 338 .. ,., But if thats what they have in the reloading pages then thats all there is to it , that is what they have in the reloading pages ..... .If it can,t be grown , its gotta be mined .... | |||

The more I look at it, the more I think it's a little... off... It looks a lot more like it's around .358 to me... ________ "...And on the 8th day, God created beer so those crazy Canadians wouldn't take over the world..." | |||

338win mag with a 250gr sierra??? | |||

Good guess. I was guessing 250g Hornady SP or Sierra GK. After looking at both, the Hornady has a much sharper ogive. It could be a 215g Sierra GK, though. The 215g Sierra GK has more visible lead at the front like the bullet in the picture. | |||

LOL! Well, I suppose then that I need a good slap upsied the head, too!! I guess I just showed my inherent dislike for belted magnums... You said 338 A-Square, and my mind automatically jumped to the rather presumptuously-named 338-06 "A-Square"!! OOPS!!  "Trust in the Lord with all your heart.

Finally we have a really important thread! I'm guessing Norma case, Federal primer, Sierra 250 and a lot of N160 | |||

Now, THAT is a cartridge for an Italian Army rifle, based on the design of their either-direction fighter aircraft of WWII fame.... "Bitte, trinks du nicht das Wasser. Dahin haben die Kuhen gesheissen." | |||
