Shooting heavier bullet in a standard, 30-06, length actions seems to fall more into the 9.3x62's sweet-spot than the 338-06's. The variety of lighter .338" bullet has increased significantly since this rifle was built I had initially intended to shoot 225 grain bullets in it, but after shooting a bit, I settled on the 210 grain Partition. I haven't shot it in awhile, maybe four or five years, but think that I blow the dust off it and look at loading some of those lighter/faster bullets.
My 338-06 is a Husqvarna-built S&W with a Douglas stainless barrel in the "C" style stock and was built as a pair, with the mate being chambered in 256 Newton.
