Looking for y'alls opinions on the following.
Looking to have a custom barrel built for my TC Encore. It will be 20", Muzzle Braked, Heavy Contour. I'm selling my bolt 338 Win Mag to fund this project. I plan for this rifle to be my all around Alaska Hunting Rifle.
Question is which caliber? 338-06 or 338 Win Mag
I already am set up for 338 Win Mag reloading. However, I can always sell the 338wm dies with the rifle and buy new dies for 338-06.
My biggest reason for 338-06 is that is non-belted and less likely to get hung up on the extractor (especially during a bear hunt where reloading would be critical)
My biggest reason for 338 Win Mag is that I already have everything to reload this caliber.
Opinions? Thank you.
