.338-06 Load Data

I have a .338-06 that I just got this year and was wondering if anyone out there shot this rifle also and had some Pet Loads they were using. I haven't had much time to try any other bullets than 200 grain Hornaday's pushed by 54.4 grains of RL-15. These loads shoot very well for me but was hoping someone might share some of their pet loads.

I use a 210 grain Nosler Partition, CCI-200's and 61.0 grains of IMR-4350 or a 250 grain Sierra BT, CCI-200's and 58.0 grains of IMR-4350 which was one of Elmer Keith's favorite loads for the .338-06.

I had mine made up many years ago on a Ruger M77 action long before the cartridge was standardized. It's taken lots of elk and mulies over the years.
