Take it from someone who actually owns a 338 RCM.
The RCM is not destined for the trash heap, not by a long shot. Hornady makes brass and it will be around for a long time as a niche cartridge for those who really know what it can do.
It is the equivalent of the 338-06 Imp, but in a shorter overall rifle.
My 22" Ruger 338 RCM weighs just a bit over 8 lbs with a Leupold VXR scope.
Burning RL16 61.0 grains I am twisting 250 AB's at 2,615 average.
RL17 61.0 grains will push 225 AB's at just under 2,800 mv.
It's a great cartridge and would rather be able to buy 338 RCM brass than neck or form 338-06.
