« on: November 22, 2012, 02:11:03 AM »
Been thinking bout having my 30-06 rebored to 338-06. Has anyone done this? If so, who would you recommend and what kind of results have you had?

I've had a 338-06 A-Square Ultra for many years, it was done by Wayne York on a 26" 25-06 barrel.

Hodgdon and Nosler use a 24" barrel in their test data for an idea for comparison.

338-06, that's one caliber I do not have.  Never had a desire to try it either.  I have been totally satisfied with the 30-06 and the .35 Whelen for years.  Then last year I got a 25-06, and love it almost as much as the 30-06.  Maybe I'll have to check out the 338-06, I might find something else to play with.

I tell ya Rog, I love my 338/06!  I shoot 180 gr. Nosler BT's and can get up around 3K fps if I want.  Unfortunately Nosler doesn't make the BT anymore but I believe there is a 180 gr bonded type out there.   They should be even better from your point of view!   ;D
