I think a 30'06 with 220s @ 2600 is just as good and usually twice as accurate. Now, a 340 WBY pushing 250s @2950fps well under MOA is the only 33 left living with my other guns. Wish I had a dollar for every newby Alaskan with a 338 Ruger and a Tasco 4X12 onboard...

'Kinda like that 33 Whelen picture ya got up there. Best wishes.

These were shot with 250 gr. bullets too. What's your real agenda with the 338 win mag?
