[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 1238310, member: 86754"] I had planned on having a .338/280 Improved made up, back in the early '90s. I had an opportunity to hunt in south Africa in '95, and didn't really have the time (or money) to have the rifle made up. Instead, I happened upon a Mod 700 Classic in 35 Whelan. I had it reamed to the Ackley Improved, set it up with the old Barnes 250X and had a ball on plains game, ha. I was 'ruined" then for a 338/06 derivative, jumped straight up to the 340 w from there,etc. I used that Whelan AI a lot, but recently had the rifle converted/rebarreled to the 358 Norma Mag. So far, it has been a shooter. I think you will absolutely "love" your 338/06, especially with the 210s, but don't neglect the Barnes 160TTSX...I get a solid 3000fps from my 338 Federal with it and TAC. Your 338/06 will send it along much faster! Good luck to you Pard! [/QUOTE]
