a very logical question in my opinion.
whats the point of a 338x06 if bullet weights are the same as the standard 06?
the 06 has been known to kill a few moose also as well as a few grizzly.
fact is there are a couple hanging here where im sitting right now.
a 250 gr 338 with 06 velocity would be a very good cartridge. but to dumb
the thing down for the sake of velocity is pointless.
