This rifle is now used by my wife and we detuned it down a 125 fps, less recoil as well. This rifle in question shoots less than 1-MOA from the bench for her and it suits her just fine.
Now Nosler's #6 reloading manual states, that the 338/06 does a top velocity of 2690fps out of a 24 inch Lilja barrel. This is by the way a MAX LOAD!
I suppose it is possible for someone to have a slightly faster barrel or chrony that registers a few points difference than Nosler's. However, you not going to be getting much over 2700fps and that's a fact.
