[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1067521, member: 22069"] I believe the answer to your question will ultimately be dictated by what you want from your rifle and how you intend to use it. In my research, the prevailing sentiment is that the standard 338-06 is good enough for most purposes. If more is wanted, most seem to feel that stepping up to .338 Win Mag makes more sense than the 338-06 AI. Most folks stating that opinion seem to be using standard hunting bullets at <400 yards. For this application, there seems to be a lot of back-and-forth between 338-06 guys and 35 Whelen guys. I am going with the AI because I am trying to squeeze all of the performance I can from the -06 case. Depending on where I end up vs my performance objectives, I may try going to the .280 case to get just a bit more. From what I can tell, the standard 338-06 and the AI version should be within about 2% of one another. Which one you decide to go with depends greatly on how badly you want that extra 2%. [/QUOTE]
