I agree, great combo. My choice is a 270/338-06.
I have never recovered a 338 caliber 210 or 225gr in any elk I have shot. With the exception of a 210gr NPT that was stopped on the off side by the lower leg bone of a bedded elk.
I have played with 180-275gr out of 338-06's and have settled on the 200-210gr weight class. Real world velocities with the 200gr class have been from 2725 to 2850.
I have owned them in Remington, Winchester, Kimber, Springfield, VZ24, Montana variations. My current and last build is on a Model 70 classic, Mickey edge, Shilen #3 1:9 twist at 23", threaded for a suppressor. This one will not be sold!
I have been hoping for a friend of mine to sell another model 70 back to me that I sold in a moment of weakness. This one has a fwt contour barrel and factory fwt wood stock. Never should have sold it.
