[QUOTE="Knwh51, post: 734964, member: 10454"] I've had a 338/06 AI for a few years and have tried several loads in it. It's a reworked 1917 Enfield with a heavy Clay Spencer barrel. I really don't gain much over a plain 338/06. I can get 2800-2850 fps with CT 200 Silver tips with good accuracy. The 225 grain Nosler AB produce similar speeds and are equally accurate. My barrel just doesn't like Sierra bullets for whatever reason. With either bullet it's quite an effective deer round. Sorry to say I've never had the chance to try it on larger game. All shots on deer produced DRT results without excessive meat loss. If you use Lapua brass you may have to turn the necks, my rifle will not chamber a round with Lapua brass without turning the necks. Brass life is good, no trimming after you fire form. IMR 4064 may give you good results with either bullet. [/QUOTE]
