[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 735013, member: 10832"] I too am surprised that this round hasn't caught on. I heard at one point that Savage was going to add it to their list of cartridges but so far no go. I think in many ways the 338-06 would fill a much needed gap in the hunting world and there really aren't many gaps left to be filled IMO. I personally can't imagine a better short and medium range cartridge that would also work on the short end of the LR game, ie 6-800 yards or so. And there really aren't any others that would work in its place. 338's are notoriously easy to load for, accurate, and deadly with the big holes and good penetration. This cartridge would have acceptable recoil in a compact package that is great for carry. With the 180-210 class bullets you can get some great velocity as well. Plus if you go with the AI offering you get great brass life and you can shoot standard 338-06 loads to fire-form them. IMO it really is about the perfect do-all cartridge for all but the real LR and ELR game. Scot E. [/QUOTE]
