I am also considering having JES boring an '06 to 338-06. Mine will be a 700 though. I've sold my last 338 Win Mag because I have more rifles in that power category than I'll use.

Why 338-06? I have bullets and a mold and linotype. A 338-06 is a cartridge I never had.

Having said that, "Why not just use 200 grain Nosler Partitions in your '06?"

I prefer classic.
