Thanks for the info gents.I am listening/reading with both ears open about this.I appreciate your insight into building it.Daryl I still want to build a 338/06.I want something a little different than the run of the mill 338 Win Mag,everybody and his brother has..A 338/06AI would do the trick..I am a devout handloader and load for two other improved cartridges already 25-06 AI and 223AI.I have written quite a bit about loading and shooting the improved cartridges I use on my handloading board.I am sold on the improved cartridges.
Thanks again gents,I appreciate everyones thoughts about this build..
