can't find cartridge data for g&a 33

[rednekk1]

Can anybody help me find the original cartridge specs or dimensions for the G&A 33? Not the 338 Remington Ultra Mag, it is a little different. I need to know the length of the neck, (trim length).
Let me know where you found it, I've been looking for a week.

Send an email to Guns and Ammo magazine.I think it may be another of Rick Jameson's or Layne Simpson's

"...G&A 33..." A what? What's the full name? Are you sure that's what it's called? Is it a Guns & Ammo .33? There's nothing on-line about any cartridge called that.

Go to the reloading section of Accurate Reloading. In the .33 section they have data for the .338-404 which is essentially the basis for the G&A rounds.

They don't have trim to length data either - just the pains they had to go through top turn the resized .404 Jeffery necks to be able to chamber their rounds. Because resizing from .404 to .338 will lengthen the neck, I think if you trim to .404 length (2.875") you would be in good shape for a starting point.

Not much. But I do see brief mention of it on these 2 sites so it exists.
