[QUOTE="nwhunter, post: 2308417, member: 30991"] I have had 5 different 338 win mags over the years. Sold or traded them all for one reason or another, and yes there are a couple I wish could have back, one was a custom Enfield I had traded my dad out of, the other was a magnaported stainless model 70. I always had very good performance with 250 grain sierra game kings on elk. Decided that my elk duties would get split between a 35 Whelan and a 300 Weatherby. But recently I picked up a pre 64 model 70 that has been bored to 338/06. I didn't like the speed I was getting with the 250 grain sierra and have loaded it with the shock hammer 186 grain bullet with a load of 67 grains of W760. Seems accurate enough for elk and doesn't show pressure. Should be an elk slayer, my chronograph seems to be failing so I can't get an accurate speed, my first loads showed 3200 and the next day the same load showed 2750. [/QUOTE]
