I have one of each and would recommend the .338-06 if you hand load.

I once thought about having a 35 Whelen and a 338/06.
After having a 338/06 bored out from a Model 70 in 270.. I never saw a need for a 35 Whelen or the 9.3 x 62.
Even my pair of 338 Win Mag saw a lot of time parked in the 'garage'....

I do know where there's half a box of new Norma .338-06 A-Square brass in a little antique/gun shop. That's enough justification for a new gun in my book.

Or, box of 50 ? 🧐 Anyone care to comment about any relevant experience with the 9.3x66 / 370 Sako in this context ?

I own a 9.3x66 / 370Sako also, but I have not hunted with it yet. However, this summer I am taking it along with my 404 Jeffery to rectify that situation. If I am successful with it, I’ll write it up.
