I love my .338-06, but if you're looking to justify something "more" than a .30-06 with a 200 gr bullet, you need to go a lot bigger, IMO. I built mine to be the "big gun" companion to my 7mm-08 deer rifle. After churning more guns than I care to think about since I built the .338-06 back in 2002, I'm right back to my original thought! A 7mm-08 Montana and the .338-06 Mnt Rifle.

On a side note, do guys actually achieve 2700fps with 200grain bullets in the .30-06? I read that was very hard to do due to the long bearing surface. ???
