Sorta of a mind there be a couple or three good .338 rounds floating around already; the .338-06, .338 Win and .340 Roy. Choice to be made is how much joy one finds in the butt end of those things. Have read of lads doin' the AI thing to the .416 Rigby case and running 300 gr SMKs 3100-3200 fps out of 40" of pipe give or take. Awkward to lug around I reckon. I'm not going to say the .300 H&H base profile won't work, you only gots to sell you on the idea.

FWIW, I've a friend with a Shilen DGAM in .338 Win. Flawless function, and the accuracy most only hope for, Mac classic handle. Has a 26" barrel and runs so close to 2800 fps w/250 grain bullets the spread is pointless. We worked a load with that one that had a consistent 5 fps spread for 5 shots. Consistent as in every time it shot over the chronograph.

I am..........disturbed.
