Bearhuntr, to get that 100fps number, I went to the Hodgdon page. I didn' t realize that it would hurt so many peoples feelings. But quoting max loads is not always a great idea. Cause as we (reloaders) know, this most of the time is not the best load.

Taking a quick look at the IMR webpage, speeds with a 200gr powerpoint sp, were from 2335fps with SR 4759 and up to 3030fps with IMR 4350. With the majority of loads being in the 2800-2900fps range. I know I ever get another 338Win mag, IMR4350 would be my top choice for powders as it is with most mag calibers. But I rarely find the optimum load at max load.

With the 210gr bullet, max velocity is around 2860fps with IMR4831 which kinda surprises me with a 338Win Mag.

On the Hodgedon webpage, with a 210gr nosler, speeds range 2784 to 2888 with H4831.

Now I have no experience loading the 338-06, so I really shouldn' t be quoting stuff from pages, but Hodgdon was able to get a 200gr Barnes flying to 2802fps with H414. Pretty good. So thats where the info comes from. IMR doens' t quote loads for the 338-06 that I can find.

Point is, no need for the 338-06 when you got a 338win mag that is capable of same or more velocities depending on your preference in recoil.

But at the Hodgedon page, a little different. There ranges for loads for the 338-06 is
