[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2408674, member: 10755"] The other two cartridges you listed are fantastic, no doubting that for a second, but the reality is that the 338-06 is one of the most versatile cartridges out there that has never been taken up by a major rifle manufacturer…..which is huge shame. My very first Mauser ‘98 VZ24 I built is a 338-06. I mulled over all the options open to me, 25-06, 275 Rigby, 280AI, 270, 30-06 and 35 Whelen. After looking at the array of good bullets and good BC’s, the 338-96 just made sense to me. I use mine quite often on large deer and it kills them dead with ease. They never run more than 20, and the kills seem faster than with my big 338’s. A 210g Partition doing 2750fps is no slouch and for really big critters, a 250g Partition doing 2600fps will bring down just about anything. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
