I built my 338-06 a little over 10 years ago for an elk hunt that never happened. I've killed black bears and deer with mine. What you have is a serious big game round without the recoil or extra noise of a magnum.

I've experimented with a lot of different bullets(X-bullets, Partitions, Ballistic Tips, Sierra, Hornady, Speer) and powders. Almost everything I've tried gives more than enough accuracy for real world hunting conditions. Some were very accurate.

The best combination for my rifle pushes a 210pr Nosler Partition to 2790-2800fps range. That's without any signs of excess pressure. Dropping down to a 200gr bullet doesn't give any real increase. Increasing the weight to 225gr I can safely get in the mid 2600's.
All were chrongraphed when I worked them up, no guessing.
Hunting range will be similar to a 30-06 shooting a 180gr bullet.
They aren't flashy numbers(in an age when everyone wants a magnum) but they do result in a very solid useable hunting rifle.

Someone asked about finding dies, Dies are sold by every company that sells dies. Mine RCBS.
