Seriously, I think the idea of the 350 mag case has a lot of merit. It already has about the capacity of the Ackleyed '06 case so there's no need to Imp it. That moderate shoulder and taper should negate the feeding issues that arise occasionally with the SAM and Whizz.
Any 284 variant is good too, but that rebated rim can be a bother, and the 350 would have at least (some) additional capacity (10%)
Since Charlie started tooting the horn about this one, I have taken a couple 6.5 RM cases and necked 'em up to 30 and stuffed a bullet in there, then I ran em through that 600 mag action I have and they were slick as could be. I'm not a fan of belts either, but it really doesn't hurt anything.
I'm pretty sold on the idea that a 30-350 will be my next project. I don't care about getting "magnum" velocities, but it will certainly be faster than a std. '06 and in a short action too. That's about all I want.
