You guys do know that there are a ton of .338 bullets that are heavier than 210 grains don't you?

There are many 250 grain .338's including some from all the major US bullet manufacturers.

There are also match bullets that sport a .670 BC for a 250 grain .338 and an astonishing 300 grain SMK with a BC in excess of .760!

The SD of a 250 grain .338 is also a bit higher than a 286 grain .366 bullet.

Because ultra common and ultra cheap 30-06 brass is often necked up and used for the 338-06 you have your choice of ANY brand of brass you choose and can form it in a single pass.

The 9.3x62 is a venerable old and truly great cartridge but to minimize the 338-06 is a mistake since it is much more versatile than the bullet limited 9.3.
