Pierce Develops New 10X Action for Big Magnum Cartridges
Pierce Engineering Ltd. recently revealed a new prototype action, a jumbo-sized receiver big enough to handle the CheyTacs and other very large magnums. This is good news for K02M and Extreme Long Range (ELR) Competitors, who favor mega-magnum cartridges pushing .375-caliber and larger bullets.
John Pierce says: “It’s been a long time coming, from design to prototype to testing. The Big 10 X is ready. This first test was in .300 Norma…next will be in .375 CheyTac.” Shown is a single-shot receiver. John adds that the “First repeater version should be completed next week. [This is a] dream come true.” This is one beefy action. Sources at Pierce say production versions should weigh roughly 3.75 pounds.
Sorry, we don’t have price or availability yet for the new 10X action. This new 10X receiver isn’t in full production yet. But we expect examples should be available by mid-year 2018. For more information, visit PierceEngineeringltd.com or call (517) 321-5051.

The .300 Norma Magnum is derived from the .338 Norma Magnum, not the .338 LM cartridge. CIP specs for all three are at http://www.cip-bobp.org/homologation/fr/tdcc_public?page=5&cartridge_type_id=1 (TDCC column, select EN for English).
What’s your point, ELR?
The prior caption said it was derived from the 338 LM – simply to make sure folks understand the derivation. That caption has now been corrected.
Roger. It must have been changed by the time I saw it, because it was correct at that time.
