210gr Partitions at 2800 fps over H-380, start at 60gr and work up if you wish, my 338-06 came to be in the form of a rusted bore pre-64 270 out of Oregon, bought it for 425 bucks shipped, sent to JES for the re-bore, 'Smith coated all metal in black matte cerakote, including the Leupold DD rings and bases, he even threw in a stainless M-70 trigger, gave him the stock, which looked like chit with pad added, was offered and bought a Pacific Research stock for the rifle at 100 bucks, took it to 'Smith for a bed and float.
The little rifle is lightweight, points and shoots great, with it's BC rain cap on the front bell of a matte 2.5-8 Leupold and a couple wraps of camo duct tape around the scope tube, not real sure what the little banger is not ready to do, i really need to take it hunting.
