Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Can you tell me about the 338-06 for elk and mule deer?

I'm researching this caliber and I know little about it, some of the info states that it is a 300 yard cartridge and other state that it is good out to 500-600 yards. All my shots will be 500 yards in or less probably using a 215 grain Sierra Gameking or a 210 grain Barnes TTSX. Thanks for the help.
