[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 124355, member: 2011"] [ QUOTE ] Hi guys, I'm an Aussie hunter looking to change my 270 winchester over to a 338-06 for use on camels, donkeys, brumbies and buffalo. Have any of you had any experience with this cartridge? I'm mainly thinking 180-225 grain projectiles, don't need any larger for my 'targets'. [/ QUOTE ] I thought about the 338-06 myself awhile back but went bigger. I think it would be good for maybe 300 yards (by my way of thinking). If brumbies are feral horses it should get the job done. If your buffalo are samll say the size of a brumbie the heavier bullet may do the job. For only slightly more expense you could switch to a 338 Win Mag and never have to worry about whether or not you have enough gun. My big question is, what in the world do you do with a dead camel??
