RAY:
Late reply on the 338-06 with heavy bullets. I have an old 1950s M-70
that was re-rifled and re-chambered to 338-06 years ago by Richard Nickel
in Washington. Accuracy has been good with all weights but it likes 210-250 grain Noslers, and particularly the 230 gr Hawk bullet.
With the 270 gr Speer-long bullet-its like the 333 Jeffrey when kept to about 2200 FPS.It will work on moose if shots are placed carefully, but prefer the Hawk or 250 gr bullet on big elk or bear.

The last Alaskan moose I killed in the interior in 2007 was stopped with
one shot. The unusual rifle-cartridge combination was a Winchester Model 71 chambered in 348 Ackley Improved with a 270 gr Hawk bullet.The Hawks work, but are made stronger than the Speer 275 gr 338s. That 348 Hawk
bullet would also work on any bear that showed up to partake of the moose leavings.
