I've though a lot about the "350 L done right" and this morning had an idea--why not try a .358 bullet in a 6.8 case? I have a 30 herret die set and a few 358 calibers--all I needed to do was widen the neck and seat a bullet. It literally took me 60 seconds to do the whole thing first try and ended up with this:
That was so brain-dead easy I thought "no way nobody has thought of this before" and I googled around--sure enough some guy came up with the same idea years ago and called it the "358 MGP." The best part is that lots of load data and testing already exists. The only thing left to do, I would think, is to take out the shoulder bump and make it a tapered straight-wall and there you have it, a hard hitting short-range street-legal cartridge even in the wierdo straight-wall hunting states.
