Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles big game cartridge.

I had a 30-06 that shot like crap even after I sent it back for warranty and the barrel and receiver was replaced.It's a 26" Rem Long Range.I decided to send it to JES and have it rebored to a 338-06.I chose the 338-06 because I liked the bullet selection in the 338.I studied on it and figured the 338-06 with a 200gr Ballistic Tip or Accubond would give me close to what a 300 Win Mag would do with a 200gr Accubond.I'm really liking it.It shoots really well and I can get a little over 2800fps with the 200gr bullet.It cost me $250 to have it done and that was a bit cheaper than a rebarrel job.I have plenty of once fired 30-06 brass,plenty of powder that I use for my 308,so really all I needed was dies and bullets.Found it to be really easy to load for with the 200gr bullets and it also did well with the 210gr Partition.I bought a good supply of Accubond seconds from SPS .Beside paper so far I shot a couple of red deer with it so far and it performed really well on them.
