[QUOTE="Winfwt338-06, post: 1897691, member: 113762"] Not sure if you're set on bolt face dia, if standard 06 bolt face, 280 Ack. Mag bolt face, 7mm Rem hard to beat. As you said with the current weight, recoil will be minimal. 26" finish in 280 Ack almost identical velocity to 24" 7mm Rem. Less powder, less recoil, same result. I have had 2 280 Rem, 1 7mm Rem. Love the caliber. Rechambered 7mm Rem to 7-300Wby. Sold first 280 to get rifle for that project. Just rebarreled Win 70 Fwt in 280 Rem, to 338-06 fwt contour straight tapered to 24" finish. After working at both Barnes bullets from 2000-2005 and Nosler in their ballistics labs, super impressed with performance gains in standard length cartridge the 338-06 offered over its patent. Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
