The 210 Nosler partition is still hard to beat. Bob Hagel liked it.

Some additional articles, with my comments:
1.Wildcat Pump for the Alaskan Hunter by Jay Turner, Handloader 146, July-Aug 1990, p. 30. He got his .30-06 barrel rebored, not realizing that the barrel threads into the steel block in front of the receiver and is easily replaced.
2. The .35 Whelen and .338-06 Compared by Layne Simpson, Rifle 105, May-June 1986, p. 18. A good, in-depth article as is typical of his work. However, I think he tries a bit too hard to rank the .35 higher, which was his choice of the two. In particular, I feel that at that time especially there were more quality bullets available in .338 than in .358, with better ballistic coefficients and sectional density for a given weight.
3. .338-06 Improved, Pet Loads, by Ken Waters, Handloader 126, March-April 1987, p. 23. Up to his usual level of quality and thoroughness.
4. Medium Bores .338-06 vs. .35 Whelen by Finn Aagaard, Handloader 184, Dec-Jan 1997, p. 32. In-depth study including penetration tests.
5, The ,338-06 by Finn Aagaard, American Rifleman, Dec. 1986, p. 22.
6. Goliath Junior: .338-06 by William Corson, Rifle 16, July-Aug 1971, p.32. This is the article referenced by Steve Timm.
7. .338-06 A Wildcat Powerhouse, by Geoff Steer, Guns & Ammo, Dec. 1985, p. 54.
