How does it shoot? - those were notorious for horrible accuracy.

Nice rig, HC!   My buddy hunts with exact same rifle.   Same action, same mcswirly, not sure what barrel you are runnin? - He is runnin a Kreiger on that one.   Deadly deer rifle.

I always thought a wildcat was any concoction that a guy came up with where there wasn't factory ammo made for it.  Why don't you consider that a wildcat.... is someone making ammo for them now?

This is actually a cal I've been thinking of making.  Tons of 06 actions and brass out there and the ballistics on it are amazing considering the case capacity.  That case tends to perform best with bigger bullets it seems.

Shortly after I built my 338-06, Weatherby started producing their Ultra-lite in that caliber and offering factory ammunition. It's a heck of a caliber, but a pretty tame wildcat. I'd still have that rifle if it were built on a different action. I just never grew to like the FN Mauser that it was built on.

I have a 338-06.  Had it built 6 or 7 years ago on a m70 featherweight.  Have killed one bull and 2 or 3 deer with it.  I shoot 210gr nosler partions in it, and they shoot great.  Love the gun.

J.J. Hunter. It shoots great!! Very, very accurate. I shot last years whitetail at a laserd 452 yds. I've taken moose, bison and black bear with it also. I've been very happy with it.
