I have been shooting the 338-06 for 3 seasons now and have to say it is fast becoming my favorite "all-round" cartridge.

One of the 2 main loads I have settled on for my rifle is the 225 grain Nosler Accubond over a maximum charge of H-4350. This load gives me just over 2700 fps out of a 24" barrel.

The other load uses Jack Carter's original 250 grain Trophy Bonded Bear Claw over a charge of W- 760. This load gives me about 2600 fps. (As the 250 gr TBBC is no longer made when I use up what I have on hand I will have work up a new "heavy animal" load using the 250 gr Partition}
