Elmer had some bad luck with the '06 and early bullets. His response was to go up to the 333 and 338 caliber.
<br>
<br>He developed three wildcats,
<br>
<br>I think the order is the 333 OKH which is pretty much a 338-06. Next he tried the 375H&H necked down and came up with the 334 OKH (340 Weatherby) Lastly, I think was the 333 Belted OKH which was legalized by Winchester as the 338 Win Mag. After the 338 size bullets became available, he switched over to it and never looked back.
<br>
<br>He routinely hunted pronghorn with his 338s and considered anything smaller a varmint gun. [Linked Image]
<br>
<br>FWIW, his favorite bullet weight for pretty well any of the 338s was the 275 grain bullets from Speer or Barnes.
