I once suggested to Remington that their semi-auto hunting rifle (M7400?) in 338 Magnum would be a big hit with folks in bear country. They sent me a 3 page contract releasing any and all interest in such a design before they would respond to my comment. I signed the release and returned it so they could reply "This concept doesn't fit our needs at this time."

I'm thing a 16" semi-auto rifle with a 5 round detachable magazine in a short 375 caliber. The 35 Whelan is the '06 necked up to .358, has anyone made a 358 from the 7.62x39 case? Might work well in a compact action, Wonder if meaningful velocity would be possible with 200 grain bullets?
