[QUOTE="Winfwt338-06, post: 2526152, member: 113762"] Didn't read all posts, but have to throw my thoughts in the ring. For years my go to was 280 Rem, or any 7mm. After spending 7 years shooting in ballistics labs for 2 large bullet manufacturers, I fell in love with the 338-06. Finished a rebarrel build on a Win 70 Fwt with 24" Fwt contour PacNor in 338-06. Shoot a 200gr Hornady SST 2800fps. It's sad the 338-06 is such an overlooked cartridge. Less powder, less recoil, only lacks 150-200fps behind 338 Win mag, and far surpasses it's patent cartridge with equal bullet weights. 338-06 with 185gr pills at close to 3000fps, again, sounds like 300 Win mag performance with less powder and recoil, plus a10% larger bullet and 5% heavier bullet. I don't get why it's not revered as possibly the best all around cartridge for North America. [/QUOTE]
