Changing the caliber of your rifle?

Yes the 338/06 is just a 06 necked up to take a .338 bullet. It is a great round!

I just did some reading on it, sounds pretty cool. So I could just get a new barrel installed and my action would work fine? How about the reloading process? Just fl resize a 06 shell in the 338/06 dies? Or is the process different when necking up?
whacker1:
Your other option is to go down smaller than .30, such as 25-06...
carpsniperg2:
I think most people just FL the 06 brass in the 338/06 dies. I think a few companies make the 338/06 brass as well. Your action should be just fine with going from the 30-06 to the 338/06. I have shot 2 diffrent rifles in the 338/06 and liked both. Never handloaded for them. But with the bullets out there, it would be a great caliber to have in the safe :IBCOOL:
