I know this is an old thread but after reading thru it i noticed no mention of Berger bullets. Berger was not designed as a hunting bullet but after much todo from hunters Berger started to put HUNTING on the box. The Bergers do much the same as the SMK's and fragment. I guess what i am trying...

Enter Me In The Berger Bullets Contest

every rifle is a creature unto itself. proceed with CAUTION until you find the magic number that says "HEY THIS IS ALL I CAN TAKE AND I AIN'T GONA TAKE NO MORE" that is if you really want to try to max it out. remember max is not always the best load even tho it may be the fastest.

Just my experience but i have had better luck with the wolf primers than any i have tried as far as being consistent. The magnum primers differ from the regular large rifle in cup thickness only according to wolf. Gary

shoot me a pm with your email and i will send you the charts out to 500 yards for both

i think you will find that the capacity of your new 280 brass is more than your '06-280 brass if you check it. so you should have to go up on your load a little at a time until you get back to the same pressure your '06-280 brass is running and that should get you back in the ballpark. may...

I work for a trucking company and i make my own from broken truck and trailer springs. i just weld them together until i get the size i want. just a lead spot even at 100 yards from 308 and 30-06. makes a very audible ringing also.

first off recoil can only be judged by the shooter as to is it too much. second the picture was by a completly different person. apoligy accepted. (note to self, figure out how to show sarcasm and humor in print without offended anyone before posting this):D now back to the original...

ok guys let me try this again. case capacity CANNOT be more than standard 30-06 which will happen with an ackley and if you increase case capacity to that of the WSM that also defeats the purpose. i have an 06 just wanted to try something different so i picked the 338-06. just wanted the...

Vic on the base i shoot at i am restricted to 30-06 capacity or less with no caliber restriction. would target shoot to 1000 yards (currently shooting 308 in f/tr class) Hunting would max out at about 550 yards. I looked at the 338 federal but not enough umph at 1000 yards to make the cut.

gun)I am thinking about building a 338-06 for hunting and/or long range target shooting. As i have never had dealings with this caliber what would be the pros and cons? It would NOT be a carry gun strictly target and/or stand hunting. Was thinking about a 28 or maybe even a 30 inch heavy...

Re: large and small primers for trade only prefer to just trade out gunny but if you only want the small rifle i think we could work a deal. are your large rifle magnum primers wolf, aka russian? that is what i am looking for as my load has not worked out to well with anything else. and...
