I've seen the 308 cased necked down to 22 (22/243), 24 (243 Win), 25 (25 souper), 26 (264 Win), 27 (27.08) 28 (7-08) 318, 32, 35 and 375. There's not many wildcats left on that case except for moving a shoulder back or forth, changing the shoulder angle or body taper. | ||

Id go with the 9x57 mauser, 9x56 mannlicher or a 358 winnie. Just ensure that the barrel is a .358 barrel vice a true 9mm barrel. BTW, I have a 9x56 Mannlicher and fortunately the bore measures out at .358. Just expand an 8x75 case and shoot to fireform. regards, graycg | |||

Quote: Ian, Another possibility is to neck up the 8mmX57 to 338 or take it one step further and obtain a 338x57 MAI(Mauser Ackley Improved), a cartridge that a fellow experimenter in Alaska and I designed. Reamers for either cartridge can be obtained from Dave Manson of Manson Reamers. He did the reamer for the 338x57 MAI. The 57mm cases lend themselves well to functioning thru the M48 action as it was designed originally for the 8mm Mauser cartridge. Good luck in your endeavor whichever cartridge you decide on.
