[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 3101472, member: 91402"] One of my all time favourite rifles was an Austrian Mauser in 338-06. I also had a 338 Mag and there wasn't much more than 100 fps between them. I have owned 7-06AI, 8-06AI, and 30-06AI, and will never own another one. The extra fps is hardly worth the effort and smooth feeding and extraction is a priority for me. With the 338-06 the 210 Nosler was good for larger animals and the 180 Accubond was flat shooting enough for longer range deer or sheep. My favourite powder was BL-C2. I lost the rifle in a fire and am still looking for a similar action begin building another one. My preferred rifle for grizzly hunting is the .375 H&H but if the 338-06 was all I had in my hands if one showed up I wouldn't feel timid about using it. [/QUOTE]
