Cool rifle yes...and cool cartridge..

I went the old conventional route, and had a 270 barrel bored out to 338/06.. 24 inch barrel, Model 70 action..

It runs 250 gr RNs at 2650 fps....225s just short of 2800 fps and 200 grainers 2900 fps plus...does all I ask of it..

I also enjoy running a 200 grain Hornady FN at 2400 fps to duplicate the old 33 Winchester load, when I am hunting in timber country where shots are close..( say within 150 yds, although the load has dropped a blacktail at 200 yds, which isn't a big feat tho.. since it was antelope sized)

I have found my 338 Mags collecting dust since I got the 338/06 built..
