Just re-barreled my hunting rifle to a 338-06. Really like the round and am seeing excellent accuracy with the 210gr Nosler Partitions and 225gr Hornady SSTs, both at about 2750 over R17.
Other bullets aren't being considered at this time.
I've read mixed reviews on both of these bullets with some folks loving/hating either.
I'd like to use this rifle on med/large game including elk so want to settle on a bullet to practice with in the meantime.
With the accuracy I'm seeing so far I would feel very comfortable taking a 500 yard shot.
Thoughts?
