You cannot go wrong with either the .280 Remington or the .338-06 caliber. I can understand your preference for the .338-06. The bullets have a slightly higher ballistic coefficient than .35 caliber bullets and the case has a better shoulder which allows for higher velocities than the Whelen. The .338-06 is on slightly behind the .338 Winchester Magnum velocities for the same bullet weights and uses significantly less powder. The same holds true for the .280 Remington compared to the 7mm Remington Magnum. Good luck on your venture. All the best...
