338-06
« Reply #30 on: November 12, 2004, 04:06:58 PM »
I built a 338-06 on an O3A3 action,  in a wonderful piece of curly walnut Bishop that had been built years ago..Picked the rifle up as a 30-06 in a pawnshop in Idaho for $190..  now wearing a 24" ERSHAW ...  took a real nice Mule deer Buck  three weeks ago here in Wyoming,  with a 200 gr Nosler balistic tip at 2650fps.   He dropped like he was poleaxed..  the thing I like about the 338-06 is the capacity of the rifle... 6 rounds enstead of 4 in the 338winmag..   my load is 58gr of W760.. first load I tried groups at 1moa..  Just built the rifle in August... like it a lot..Les
