I have and load for 338-06 for a hunting rifle. I got a spare heavy contour 25-inch barrel that I was going to use but found it too front heavy for mountain hunting. Now working on a Nucleus LA build, staying with 338 (bit no plan to go 338 WM), I am interested in reaming the heavy 338-06 barrel to 338 Sherman and using that for a bench rifle to play at longer range.
To me - it looks like the 338-06 will clean up with 338 Sherman. This is a small shank Savage threaded barrel and will spin on my Nucleus with the Bar-Loc. Does this sound like it would work?
Am I missing anything on the neck/shoulder area? I can set the barrel back a few threads, no markings on it so timing is not an issue.
