Wondering if anyone has played with this wildcat before. Living in AK now, and while I trust my 280ai slinging the 155AH at 3170 to kill anything i point it at, I think there is some AK street cred I’m missing by not having a 338 something or another in the safe. Oddly, I don’t even have a 30 in the safe these days, other than a sporterized O3a3 my dad gave me when I was a kid. Anyway, this will go into the pile of barrels that gets swapped around on one of my Tikkas (which is otherwise identical to my 280ai). I don’t have or want a magnum bolt, so that trims down my options quite a bit. 338-06 (ai or not) or the 338 Sherman (270 based) bothe make a lot of sense, but I think I’d like something a little more obscure, and I love the 284 case (and I happen to have a bunch from a project that never happened). Planning on either the 175HH or 186SH.
TLDR- anyone have experience with the 338-284, especially with hammers?
