Hi,
I'm going to try this in here, hope someone has some input. =)

I have heard of a 8mm mag necked to .30 caliber. I've heard of it refered to as .300 Asherst also...but I can not find any info out about it. No loading data, no balistics, nothing. I did see ONE (1)(a single) web sight that mentioned chambering barrels for it. But again...it was just in a list of all availible calibers.
Has anyone else heard of it?
Anyone seen it? Any numbers?
If I understand correctly it effective range is about 1300 yards. This true?

Thanks for the info!
