I've thought about a 338-06 lately, but I already have a .338 WinMag and can't get myself to pull the trigger on the 338-06. It has less recoil than my WinMag, but the WinMag has a lot more horse power and is easy to find when away from home and I run out of shells. It can also be loaded down for medium sized game, or bumped up for dangerous game. Don't see much 338-06 on the shelf in podunk Montana, or anywhere West Texas.

A 338-300 WM sounds neat, but why it over a 300 WM, or a .338 WinMag for that matter? Just curious.
