Trying to do a build for a an elk hunt this fall.

[gbflyer]

I've found Pac Nor to do exactly what they say they'll do. I have a select match they chambered for me in .308 Obermeyer. It cleans up slick and shoots very well. It was produced in 8 weeks, as promised.

Best barrel I've ever shot came from pac-nor. May have been a one time thing, but the barrel shot well

My first ever wildcat was a .25 X .307 stub barrel Encore done on a Pac Nor, it shoots ridiculous small groups. Everything gathered, waiting on the barrel.

I think the 270 or 06 would be a better choice..However I did have a 30 338 for shooting 190 gr sierra
at 1000 yards years ago..But I think your going into over kill with this project...Good luck with your
build if you go thru with it..:der:

A 300 Win Mag or a 7 Rem Mag either one will do the job ver handily.

I have a 7 mm, actually a couple, but the Savage is here, barrel to ship next week. It may be overkill, but the brass (.35 Whelen) is necked down and turned, bullets and powder in place and I should be up and running end of June. Then I will have what I want, how many times does that happen?

You should look at 7.5 Swiss. A shade less capacity than a 30-06, shoots all the same bullets so you can do an ELD hunting bullet.

Shot a 338-06 (non AI, just a run through the sizer) for a while, was really intrigued by the round.

Am very interested in the AI version, really looking forward to see how this project turns out.

Any progress updates?

[Worriedman50]

Got notice that the barrel ships Monday, I will be getting it put together end of next week, then let the shooting begin...

Worriedman If you are working on an 338-06 AI Why are you advertising that you are looking for an A square set of dies?

[Worriedman50]

As I set about necking my .35 Whelen brass down, I was getting bad runout on the AI dies, got a .338-06 A Square and it did a much better job of sizing down the Whelen brass. Once I get it fireformed it will not be necessary!

[Worriedman50]

[mattri]

[Worriedman50]

Very pleased so far.

I have a 338-06 McGowen barrel on an older (1966 area) small shank 110 donor. Shoots fine. 30-06 go/no go gauges work for 06, 338-06, and 35 Whelen. I think it is also good for 270 (but don't rely on me).

After posting I saw I was way out of date (page 1) so ignore my ramblings.
