It is a toss between my .338 and my '06. I've hunted them both every year since the early 90's. The .338 mostly for elk and the '06 for deer.

They weigh within 8 ounces of each other.

I suppose I would go with the .338. While I most often shoot 225's [Hornadys, Partitions and Bearclaws], I load 180's 200's, and 210's depending on the hunt. My dad always wanted me to take a moose with it.
