I just put the little Mod 77 338 RCM on layaway! Near as I can read, it is very similar in case capacity to a 338/06? Of course, this one has a 20" barrel so velocity will be a bit lower. I still have some Nosler 200 Ballistic Tip, a handful of Speer 200 and a wad of 250 NAB. I bet I can find something it like to shoot! I will put a low powered scope on it, probably a 1x3 or 2x7 at most. A few years back, I saw one in the used gun rack at Cabela's. Someone had put a 30mm, huge, heavy scope on it, I forget the power but it made it feel like a club in your hands. I like light and lively for the woods myself. So, I've had a 338 Federal, a 338/280 Wildcat ( very briefly, had bad brass), 338WMs, 340W and 338 RUMs. But no 338/06, nor RCM. I'm looking forward to it.
