Truly a pick' em as far as performance goes.

I am a huge 338-06 fan, and would not hesitate to use it on anything with the exception of elephant and rhino.

Otherwise, take all 3 rifles with you hunting, shoot 3 of the same animal, and you wouldn't notice the slightest difference in performance within 300 yards.

That is something to consider, but a 375 H&H or 338 Win Mag would be more logical? If going down that rabbit hole. crazy
All three benefit from handloading.
