[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 215906, member: 8843"] I would certainly go with the 338-06Ai over a 338 win mag unless I was plannign to shoot the realy heavy bullets way out then I still woulden't use a 338 win mag. The 06 case gains alot from Ackley improving it realy helps with case streching adds just enough powder to take advantage of the action length without being to over bored. The 338-06 Ai in a 24" barrel will make a great hunting rifle , the gain from a longer barrel would be minimal , recoil is recoil , if you launch a 200 grain bullet at 2500fps out of a 7lb gun its gonna kick weather its from a 06 case or a RUM case ,the muzzle blast will be differant though.
