[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 382321, member: 505"] Of all the big boomer 338's I know the 338 norma would be the best with a short barrel. It is the shortest and most efficient design of the big ones which would utilize a faster burning powder getting more burn out of the short barrel therefore retaining top velocity. The 338 win mag does well in short barrels. The 338-06 AI and 338 Gibbs also does very well in short barrels. I have a 338 gibbs with a 20" lightweight barrel for mountain backpacking and it will easily take elk size game at 600 yards. So I guess it just depends on the range you want to shoot. The gibbs is all you can get out of an '06 case. [/QUOTE]
