| 338/223 Straight Short |
| ("Parent Cartridge") |
| .223 or 5.56 NATO |
| The 338-223 Straight was introduced by Max Atchisson of Atlanta, Georgia in 1972. It was intended as the cartridge for a blow-back semi-auto rifle he designed. The first version was a completely blown out .223 case and had a 2.54" overall length; however, split cases (on the original neck) became a problem, leading to the short version. This is the second verision, or short version made by cutting off the .223 case at the shoulder and trimming it to 1.412 inches. With a 200 grain .338 projectile at a muzzle velocity of 1,820 F.P.S. it has 1,880 foot pounds of energy, about 600 more foot pounds than a 30 carbine. These specimans are live and have a Magtech primer with an "O" on it. |
