    I think the .338-06 is cool I have one and another in the works. That said I'd just run the .338 Win and be done with it. If you run the 06 version you're a hand loader anyway, so you can tailor the Win Mag to the 06 levels or run the full power for the 250+ grain bullets if you want. The .338-06 is best with 200-225 grain bullets. Plus it changes things to just a simple barrel swap no extra parts needed. The only reason I don't run the Win Mag is that if I feel I need a larger bullet I grab my .375 Ruger.

    Here in New Jersey all I need is my muzzleloader and slug gun... I dont need another rifle but want one.. lol I might just wate for a 30-06 to build from. But the price on the 300 win mag is very good and that would help with the added parts cost..
