[QUOTE="Tomarctus, post: 920608, member: 28595"] Been shooting a 338-06AI off and on since 2002. My 700 is about 8.5 lbs and is quite satisfying to shoot and hunt with. Dang accurate too. The only load I've developed and killed with (5 mulies, 1 whitetail, 1 antelope) is 59.2gr RL-15 pushing a 180gr Nosler BT. Longest shot, was and easy 425. But then and in all but one other case, results were immediate and obscenely spectacular. This load was ***** hard on capes! The last animal to fall (2011 whitetail) to my 338-06AI was using new production 180 NBT's. Buck ran about 75yds dead-on-his feet with only a small exit wound. Huh... These days a different rifle-different caliber has my fancy now, but whenever I dust-off and re-develop for this chambering I'll go heavy and aim at heavy-er game. Truely it is a sweetheart of a round tho. [/QUOTE]
