KZreelrod, thanks for the info. after looking into this more i'm thinking a 338-06 may be what i really want. I have doubts that i can duplicate 338 fed ballistics with cannister powder and the 338-06 operates @ 50KSI vs 60 for 338 fed, Ralph
With only 15" of steel I don't know that either 338 will be much better or worse regardless of powder. I will have a Striker tube in 338 Fed shortly, I think it is a fine midlength barrel chambering.
I don't know much about the 338-06 but I've heard good things about the 375-06 in an encore pistol.
I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them. John Wayne-The Shootist
