I remember encountering this picture years ago. Shits crazy long. Kinda dumb though how a guy sets out to create a superheavy VLD bullet and employs a tangent ogive.
Your 200gr will be longer than that. No problem though, I’m sure it can be stabilized. But like I pointed out earlier, the minimum case requirement is a 100kpsi 338 lapua case. Have you the faintest clue how much larger and heavier than 5.56 that is? You need 4x the capacity of 5.56 at almost double the pressure. I’m sorry bro it’s not happening. And vis a vis recoil, so far you’ve just stuck your fingers in your ears and sang “la la la” when it’s been pointed out that constant recoil (ultimax) is not some magic mechanism that turns physics off. You also have never explained why such a capability is even desired in the first place. So desired in fact, that it ought to be issued to every rifleman. Who’s shooting at a mile? Who’s even shooting at half a mile? The entire world moved towards intermediates over half a century ago, because like 95% of fighting takes place within 300 yards. You want a replacement for 5.56? So do I. Its replacement must be a better 0-300 solution. Optimized for 0-300, not “50BMG is pretty good at point blank range”.
So far your idea is to give everyone a bigass superheavy rifle with punishing recoil chambered in picrel loaded to 1.3x proof pressures, that is like 3-4x as heavy as 5.56, and a separate ~15lbs worth of “sidearm” and its ammunition.
