Just thought thought it was interesting if you scaled the 375 HH down you to be made of the 240 WBY case you get an 8mm version of the 375 HH. Probably similar performance as the 8x57.
Kind of like the 6.5 version of the 300 HH off the 240 case. Could make a nice matching pair of minis.

Or stay with the 8-06. Same capacity no belt to jack with and off you go.

OK I will admit the 8-06 might not look as cool. Big Grin


As usual just my $.02

Well it would be a slick feeding cart that would be different.

8mm-06 wouldn’t be as showy but it sure would be cheaper to make. Big Grin I know you can buy 8-06 AI already formed but they’re pretty expensive.

Sometimes different is just harder. I think I've exhausted my harder capacity.... An 8mm06AI would be pretty fun. But a 338 Win would do the same thing and more with less messing around.
