If I have another 30 built, it will either be a long throated 300WM, or a 308 Norma.
Well, or a lighter weight 308, this one is mayhaps a touché heaby.
Actually,
I see no point in throwing the same weight bullet, at lower velocities, just because it is .020" fatter.
And, I've always wanted a 338something.
Thanks for the input.
I'm thinking 338-06AI in a long action with a 26" tube.
Probably send it to ER Shaw & let them put it together.
I was originally thinking CRF mod 70, but this in LH has peaked my interest: http://www.nwactionworks.com/actions .
Again, thank You
So a Wyatt's blind magazine pared with a regular Long action should be enough length for just about any 250 grain combo?
2700 fps 250gr Accubonds from a 338-06 sounds pure sexy.
Is there any benefit to using a magnum action over a Long action for the 338-06?
I was under the impression the 338-06 ammo could be fired from a 338-06 AI chambered rifle if in a pinch?
Am I mistaken?
Hello,
I'm debating a similar issue:
1. 35 Whelen
2. 358 Winchester
3. 338-06 AI
All around bigger than a 30 cal to handle anything in NA.
I hand load.
I'm not opposed to a 338WM, but I'm reading that there are better choices.
The platform will probably be some old bolt action: a pre '64...
Remington Model 7 in .243, .260, 7-08, even .308 with the managed recoil loads.
I like the .260 enough that I own 1: the 6.5 Creed is the Ballistic twin with a shorter case to accommodate more bullet protrusion with similar COAL.
The negative of the 6.5 Creed is that it's not offered in some...
