I did my search in 2002 . But I was only able to find one strain guage OKed velocity. That's where the 2650 comes from. If a AI is 5%+, using the 1/4 rule, that gives a 2675 for a 225gr cup and core, Accubond is a cup and core.

I'm off to the range to actually shoot a 338-06 Ackley Imp. to actually learn something.
Just remember that the 338-06 AI is not the same as the 338-06 or 338 Federal or 338 Winchester. And stop acting all butt hurt . . . No butt hurt here. It was a wonderful day. Oh & thanks for the warning about the different 338s. I never realized... Another trophy for you.

I read the OP's post and was fully aware that it was an AI and not an A-Square. The reading comprehension mistake wasn't made by me. Nor did I jump to conclusions on the intent concerning anyone else's posts. As for "vast experience", yes I have loaded for the 338-06 for over 15 years, I wouldn't claim to have "vast experience", but I do know that if I was to work up a load for an AI tomorrow I'd look first to see what works in the A-Square due to its similarities and build up from there, (probably just like you did before working up some loads for your 338-06 AI). Or did you just pull almost non-existent 338-06 AI load data out of thin air and load up some cases? Participation trophy? GFY? Vast experience? Not contributing anything? Big Stick posts? Sounds like you need to head off to more than just the range to actually learn something, (like manners for starters).
All I have to say to your absolute stupidity in completely missing the point is... Blow me. No trophy for you this time. You can go sit in time out for a while.

If a AI is 5%+, using the 1/4 rule, that gives a 2675 for a 225gr cup and core, Accubond is a cup and core. Downwind. No need to qualify your post. Yadda yadda yadda & Muskey breath seemed to want a tag team, so I'm just stirring shiddt but have grown tired of their bloviation. I dont doubt they'll be back (cranky women always have to have the last word), but I'm done. I'm fairly sure an Improved would get you to 2800 with the 225 with 24" or longer barrel. The bigger bore improved cartridges dont seem to gain as much as the smaller stuff. I use case life as the final criteria for a load. What did you use for base line of your pressure/strain readings? The 06 is underloaded to around 60K & the 270 is at 65K if I remember right. In a modern bolt gun there's no reason not to go with 65K as max. Maybe you had some factory A-Square? Hoping the OP finds what works in his rifle & wishing most of y'all a wonderful evening.

Strain guages are a very old hat now on rifles. The first to get a through looking over was the veritable 30-06, 2800 fps is something of holy grail with a 180gr for the 30-06 fans. Only one powder in a study did that at 60,000, the rest had to go over 65,000 . I'm using one.of those other ones, N560. So 2700 is much more realistic and at 270 pressures. As if moose and elk carry chronies.
