Ran some through the chrony as well, reading 2798, 2784, 2787. Speed could come up a bit, but its a great load, so I'll likely leave it at that. Nothing wrong with a 225gr @ ~2800...:)

I bought this tripod at XS-Cargo for $20, man does it work slick...

Sweet rifle blargon !!

I like the idea of the 338-06 build....I love the 338-06 Ackley I had made last year on my Sako m75 Greywolf. Shoots very tight 225 AB's.

Thought it would recoil more.....my 270WSM with 140gr AB's feels more recoil.


DO THE 338-06......no pressure.....lol
 
I looked up last night......330 Dakota looks very interesting.

15% more case capacity over a 338WM. Based on a 30-06 case

Might be my next wildcat for something different......hmmm now I need another Sako m75 IV action. Macmillan stock - it almost Christmas right??:D

Read up on it again in my Nosler Reloading Manual #6

Actually the 330 Dakota is based a shortened and improved 404 Jeffery that can utilize a 30-06 size action.;) Looks like a neat caliber though, don't know how hard it would be to get brass for it (.404 re-sized?). I like the idea of a 338-06 and think I may build one myself one of these days, but Bartell had a good point that is probably cheaper just by reduced loads. The 338-06 just seems to have that cool factor though.:cool: Looks good Blargon

MAN! I wish my groups looked like that!

So lemme see if I've got this straight.... Rem 700 in a sako stock???

Sort of. Its a McMillan Fibreglass stock that is shaped like a Sako 75 stock. They are inletted by CNC machining, so they just take the blank stock and run the program for a Rem 700 and its a drop-in fit. They do several different actions on variations of that stock, including Savage, Ruger, Sako, Rem 700, 721, 722, M7, Win M70...
