Thread: .338/06 Acklel IMP

22 inch. barrel as i was always going to suppress and thought that it would be a good length vs handiness.
180gr AB. 61grs AR2208 = 3025 fps
225 Fusion 63grs AR2209 = 2700 fps
250gr RN 61grs AR2209 =2550 fps
I havn't tried other powders and maybe i can improve on these but they shoot well and go fast enough so i might not even try

Excellent. I wouldn't bother with other powders if it shoots well. ADI is usually easy to get.
I was keen on a 338 Federal for my bush gun but the 308 was just easier. If I ever have to replace the barrel (which I doubt) I might go that way.

Of course, 338MAN mK2 has one of those as well.
