I was under the impression that Weatherby was selling a factory loaded .338-06....maybe I' m wrong...but it' s an easy case to load.....RCBS has the dies on the shelf and data is available in many places.

I' d far rather bebarrel a used Remington 700 or a Winchester Model 70 than buy a Weatherby rifle. Both the REM and the Win. are better rifles and cost much less than the Weatherby.

It' s my feeling that the .338-06 is a better elk cartridge than a 7MM rem Mag or a .300 Mag.....further using the 180 grain Nosler BT, it' s a splendid deer rifle and custom built can be lighter than a .338 Win Mag.
