Wildcats for the 112 Magnum action

[yobuck]

The 300 Norma Mag is getting real popular. Some guys are even running 300 Norma AI variants. a 230Berger at 3100fps is going a long ways!

This is an excellent cartridge, and was originaly designed to be used with Rem 700 actions.
I personaly wouldn't be using a 700 action or a Savage either for one, but that's me and
obviously lots feel otherwise. Many years back a PA gunsmith by name of Howard Wolfe created a
cartridge that he could use at Williamsport with a 30" barrel. He shortened the 378 Weatherby case
and called it the 30x378 Wolfe. Localy it was simply referred to as the short version, or Wolfe version.
I ended up with one built by Howard on a mark V Weatherby action. About 5 or 6 years ago a friend had a 300 Norma
built on a 700 action he had. He brought it to the camp for bear season and showed me the cartridge.
I said that looks almost exactly like my short Wolfe case. We filled each with water and found they were within 1 grain of capacity.
For long range hunting its my favorite gun. I use 190 gr bullets in mine for hunting which have a velocity over 3350.
Theres really no need for me to own another gun for long range hunting.
However if the goal is to send bullets to extreme distances, I wouldn't even be thinking less than a 300 gr 338 in a big case built on a big action.
But again, that's me and to each his own.
