[QUOTE="Possum Cop, post: 1862707, member: 108622"] I love my 338-06 A2, I shoot 185 grain Barnes TTSX right at 3000 FPS using 58 grains of Varget (Compressed Load) and 200 grain Speer HotCor HCSP right at 2750 FPS using 54 grains of H4895. I also love shooting the .30-06, I shoot 180 grain Sierra Game Kings right at 2740 FPS using 55.5 grains of H414. Both rifles are Remington 700 actions and both have a 24” barrel. I use Weatherby headstamped .338-06 A-Square Brass. I used .30-06 brass sized up when I first started shooting it but the headstamped brass isn’t much more expensive when you buy premium brass. I use .30-06 headstamped brass for my .30-06 Springfield. I gain a little velocity using heavier bullets in the .338-06 compared to the .30-06, both kill. I hunted in Africa using a .30-06 with 150 grain soft points and a .223 using 55 grain soft points on plains game and killed all of the game with one shot each. Best of luck with your decision and your African hunt. [/QUOTE]
