[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 1862233, member: 91402"] I'm a 338-06 fan. I load mine with 180-185 for deer size animals and 200-210 for larger. I can get 3000fps with the 180's and 185's, which I can't do with my 30-06. I like the bigger bore and the range of bullets available from 160 to 265 grains in premium manufacturers because I sometimes run into large animals. The rounds are easy to load, I neck down 35 Whelen, and it works with a large number of powders, although I have had my best results with BLC2 and the accubonds and triple shocks. It has enough taper to feed and extract well, which is big in my hunting life, and all it requires is a properly chambered barrel to make the conversion from any '06 type action. It's one of my favourite all around cartridges. [/QUOTE]
