Just for clarification, the 338Sherman Short is the Wildcat I built and it’s based on the SAUM parent case. Rich basically has two lines of wildcats. One is based on the 270 win and the other on the SAUM.

After continuing to work on load development for my 338 Sherman Short, I finally honed in on a great hunting load. This is a 5 shot group using Varget 215 primer and 250gr Berger Elite. MV 2860’ This lil short action magnum is overwhelming impressive!

Rich Sherman has been able to get the 250 Berger Elite Hunter up to 2970ish with the his .338 Sherman. To date his long action Sherman line’s ballistic performance has been matched by its Sherman Short equivalent. I agree that the numbers sound rather unreal but are very very real. I will be...

To address truck driver’s question. The Sherman is the long action wildcat while the Sherman Short is the short action wildcat version. Best place to read about them is in his website or simply call him. Great point thatguySHM brings up regarding the price of brass. We are all hopeful that...

The parent case is a SAUM. After fire forming, the case length is 1.930”. The capacity of this cartridge is very similar to the 338-06. However, the performance is undoubtably superior. The dimensions of this round allow you to use a short action with a magnum bolt face for the build. I would...

Just returned from the range and I couldn't be more satisfied!!...338SS proved to deliver "big boy" performance as expected. My rifle was built by Dennis Olson of Plains, MT and is a Tikka T3 rebarreled with a stainless Bartlein 3B 1:9.3 twist cut at 26" Terminator T3 brake. Action was...

Please to meet everyone on here. I think anytime you can match the performance of belted magnums with a long action or a true short action cartridge, that's surely making a statement.

I'm really excited to share this info. Honestly, I'm surprised most of us haven't learned about these sooner. Rich is a super guy with a wealth of knowledge and always willing to help and answer questions.

Like many of you, I too have a love of reloading, target shooting and hunting. I've been reloading for over 33yrs and continue to learn from everyone's input and all the available data we have available. To say that I appreciate this forum is indeed an understatement. This group is great about...

Always nice when you have a Sportsman's Warehouse at home!!

Headed to Colorado for third gun season. Anyone have a load or experience with the 190gr LRAB? Thanks in advance!

After reading all posts and checking my powder inventory, I settled on Varget. Used 25gr Varget with WSR primer and a 55gr BT with excellent results! Thanks everyone!
