[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 2793683, member: 91402"] 338-06 is probably my all time favourite for what I hunt and where I hunt. For mid sized game I can get 3000fps with 180 accubonds using BLC-2 out of a 22 inch barrel, with no pressure signs in my custom Mauser. For bigger game I go with the 210 Nosler Partitions. Although I have had a few AI's, and they worked okay for most things, I prefer tapered cases for better feeding and extraction just in case things start happening in a hurry. I've hunted and taken game with the .338 Mag and my wife used the 338 Federal for years, and both were excellent, but the 338-06 just seems a good compromise between hard hitting on the animal and soft hitting on the shooter, while still having a good selection of bullets and brass.
