Premium lapped barrels should be smoother and have less friction.


If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

I've shot a lot of Ackley Improved and I've never seen much of the "Improved" aspect of those cartridges.

For what it is worth. 100fps isn't enough to make much difference if any at all. You can look at the charts and see you might get 100-150 more fps with max loads but that doesn't mean you'll get it along with accuracy. Shooting max is an assumption. Just depends. 1/2 the people on the internet are guessing at their velocity based on book numbers. They don't own a chronograph. Likely not shooting the numbers they think they are.

For the .338-06 though why not? You can't get it at Wal-Mart so I would imagine you reload. 50fps? Negligible. But why not?

Just for the hell of it. I already have a 35 Whelen ai. Gun writer John Barsness calls the 35 whelen ai the most useless ai cartridge. 338-06 ai is probably second most useless.

I love ai rifle. I like to hand load and that is a must.

I fire form new brass using a full power 243 win load with the bullet seated into the lands.

I have the brass annealed after I fire form.

I get about 200 fps over a standard 243 and 2506.

Just got a call from John Gallagher yesterday and he said my rifle is finished. Will pick it up this weekend.

I feel like a kid on Christmas eve.
