[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 438996, member: 25383"] the Weatherby maybe out already, as they anounced it awhile back. Savage has been running an ongoing poll to see what the buying public thought, and the results were overwhelmingly in favor of it. If you own a long action Savage you can buy the barrel right now from Sharpshooter and a few others. The .338-06 is listed in most loading manuals right now (somebody said awhile back that it was the single most popular wildcat chambering). Most manuals list it about 150 fps slower than the Win mag, but I'd say it closer to 225 fps slower. The Ackley chamber will give you about 75 to 100 fps greater velocity out of a 24" barrel. A 250 grain bullet will safely attain 2650 fps if not 2700fps out of a 24" barrel gary [/QUOTE]
