RE: 338-06
8mm/06 - I would have to agree with popeye. The two rounds are very similar and their performance is nearly equal. It is truly unfortunate that American hunters have never really figured out what the rest of the world has: That 8mm cartridges are about as versatile as it gets and if a mythical " one gun does it all" exists, it may well be one of the various 8mm' s.
