[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 1451814, member: 91402"] I like the .338's for hunting anything from mule deer on up. I have taken a number of animals up to large moose with a Browning A bolt in .338 mag. and my wife has taken both deer and elk with her Tikka .338 Federal (a very under rated caliber - especially with the 160 grain Barnes bullets). However, my all time favourite is the 338/06. It has to be one of the most efficient cartridges available. If I was to go for another rifle it will probably be a 338/06 AI. I have had 7/06, 30-06, and 8/06 AI's in the past with mixed results, to the point of saying never again - but I am beginning to waiver. Brass is easy. Just neck down .35 Whelan, leave a false shoulder and then fireform, and the resulting performance should be close to .338 mag. Maybe I am just daydreaming but you asked for opinions. [/QUOTE]
