[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1269928, member: 4566"] If I had the money to try something that might not hit my needs I would build a 338-06AI in a heartbeat. I'm afraid of it because of the extended ranges we shoot but would love to see if I could make it work as a 1 gun solution for me. Lighter than the big guns and yet hold enough energy to 1K. I don't mind limiting shot distance to 1K as long as its devastating out to that range. I have smoked a lot of stuff where the energy level is well below a 300 yd 338-06 so I am sure it would work for me but at 1K it will be getting a little slow and may not expand. For you though it would be an absolute hammer with some 250s or even 225s. Some guys around here used to even run the 160 and 180 Barnes stuff at WARP speed from big guns back before rangefinders and they were nasty. A 338-06 could run any of that stuff and be a hammer.
