28 nosler would work , 7-300 win mag will get to 3050 fps and a 7-338lapua will go way past 3100, I think a good fit would be a 7-300 Norma mag. That's what I would do .If the idea of running a 195 gr 7mm bullet at 3100+ fps is a complete pipe dream then please tell me lol. I was just thinking it would be one heck of a gun for large game at those kind of numbers due to the BC of that bullet. Like i said it would be a gun that is shot 100 times or less a year.

Moose are not a particularly hard to kill. They are not resilient like elk. Hit them in the boiler room with most cartridges and a good bullet and they will lay down and pass. I will not suggest the combo you are looking at. A 195 at 3200 fps might hit the hide and simply explode without penetration. I would suggest another tougher design.

That's exactly what will happen
Old thread, but I finally got some range time with my 28 Nosler and the 195 EOLs. I'm using the Wyatts single stack extended box.
With a COAL around 3.740 (just a hair shorter than rpierce above), I got 3200 fps
with Retumbo. At that load, the pockets are still tight, with slight ejector marks.
I haven't tuned for accuracy yet, but I'm calling this load my ceiling, and will very likely end up south of 3200.

The old Predators are cut for the Wyatt boxes if my memory serves me right, I bought an early Predator and seem to remember reading that in the product description. Don't trust my memory and give Russ a call to verify.Ryan are the older Stiller Predators cut out for the extended mag boxes?
Did the Curtis 338 action ever pan out?lapua cip mag system is being used by some. The new Curtis Custom 338 lapua action will have a 4" detachable mag system. They will also have runs of standard mag bolt face bolts for it. This will be a game changer for the lapua and edges since it currently cant be mag fed and still have a 300 gr bullet throated properly. The lapua action will be available in early spring.
Not that Im aware of.Did the Curtis 338 action ever pan out?
