Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles ? on handloading .338-06

I'm sorta new to the 338-06, having picked up this one on the Classifieds. I redid the bedding, painted it. 24" custom barrel, maker unknown, came with Timney trigger. Bore looks new thru the Hawkeye borescope and it shoots some loads sub MOA. It likes what it likes, not so much what it doesn't like. But, I've about got that figured out.

I mounted a 3-9x40 Conquest that I had sent back for elevation turret. Now, this isn't a LR target rifle, but I think it would be fun to dial up 400-500 yd targets just for the heck of it. Some of the loads are accurate enough for that. Big bullet whacking a far away target gotta be fun.
