So I'm having 2nd thoughts on what to chamber my Mauser 98 action rifle in. It is going to be a hunting rifle used on elk, big mule deer and possibly moose this fall.
I'm curious about the .338-06. The ballistics on it are fairly impressive as it will push a 220 gr bullet up to almost 2750 fps....That's only about 75 fps slower than my dad's .338 win mag with the same bullet! I hand load so finding ammo is no problem, I can neck up an '06 case or just buy brass when I find some and it won't get fired too often.
Just wanted to know if anyone had any experience with one.
Thanks
