Those are assuredly some fine looking rounds. Undoubtedly, they are excellent cartridges.

 

[Kodiak]

.338-06AI, OOOooohhh, very nice!

Heres hopin' those elk will hang-around for a few days!

 

[Silentstalker]

Good luck! Cant wait to see how those pills perform!

 

[Guy Miner]

Elk really ought to be digging in and hiding...

Best of luck on your hunt!

If its brown its goin down

 

[jmad_81]

That 338-06AI is one sexy looking bugger!

 

[Elkman]

Best of luck, I killed one elk with a 338/06. One shot through the top of the shoulders, it went right down. I would still have that rifle but it didn't shoot in the same place every time. A very nice medium cartridge.

 

[Oldtrader3]

The 225 grain AB should be the ne plus ultra for elk hunting. Go get one of those suckers and tell us about it!

 

[velvetant]

Congratulation on getting drawn, now the fun begins.
What area did you get?
That 338-06 AI is an awesome round.

 

[Woodycreek]

Good luck, Jake! Both of those cartridges are cool!

 

[SJB358]

Very nice Jake. Both of them look up to the task at hand. Hope you get onto elk with one of them.

That's a very nice pair of cartridges you have right there buddy. That 7x57 with the 150PT looks like something I wanna give a whirl...

 

[bob_dobalina]

I think the 338-06AI is the perfect elk caliber. Some day!

 

[JD338]

Jake,

Nice looking loads buddy.
Either one will do the trick.

Thanks guys! I'm pretty excited. Cow tag in 062 064 and 068 Randy.

Looks sweet!! Now go have a great successful hunt!!

Seeing this wants me now to use my 338-06AI with 225gr AB with H414 (and if memory serves me right-62gr H414) for my cow elk I will be concentrating on in December!! I could get my cow elk now (they are all over some of our land - in hidden fields with lots of great cover and prying eyes from the road jockeys) but I'm still going for a decent whitetail buck with only 8 days left in the season here.

Debating....300WM with 180gr AB reloads or the 338-06AI or my 270WSM with 140gr AB reloads. I have taken several elk with the 300WM and 270WSM more recently, but not with the 338-06AI. I know with my 300WM if the elk come out on the other end of the field from the timber and I'm pinned and cant move, I can reach out and touch them with my 300WM-very confident with my shooting capabilities with this rifle.

Decisions Decisions !! Got to like it when you have to pick a rifle....lol!

 

[SJB358]

MP. 338-06 needs to run buddy!

 

[nvbroncrider]

MP definately need to get the 338 out. It's such a cool cartridge!

 

[Mighty Peace]

I have had mine for almost 5 years now, and never taken it out hunting...don't ask me why.

Maybe I should of taken it to moose camp this year and maybe we would not of been skunked ( I had a tag too boot this year...but that's a whole other story.)

 

[SJB358]

Man, you gotta hunt that 338 MP. Yours is a beauty. I can't think of a much better moose thumper! Plus, yours is mighty easy to look at too.
