Is there much advantage to the 338/06 over the 8mm/06 when using 200 or 225 grain bullets?? Other than the bigger hole (.015 bigger for the .338) does the 338/06 offer any advantage?
I can see that the 338 CAN be loaded to higher velocities at the 250 grain. AND the 338 has loads listed for up to 275 grain bullets whereas the 8mm/06 only suggests up to 250' s. I' d like to own both, but not if it isn' t worth the extra $$ for a round that will do nearly the same. seems like with the many premium bullets out there I might be able to " get by" with my 8mm/06 and wouldn' t really gain much with the 338/06. All input appreciated.
