Ever rebored an .30'06 to a .338-06?

180 gr in .30-06 is plenty for elk. My uncle took plenty of big ones with a .270. Otherwise, no I haven't rebored a .30-06. I love her too much.
 
I read the thread...went back to the front page...and something hit me like a ton of bricks.....

You have EIGHT .30-06s yet can't afford ONE .338? Durn, sell one .30-06! Problem solved!
 
Theres a couple of guys out this way that got into the .338-06. They did not re bore but rather re barreled. One was a Savage witch was the easiest, the other I think was a Ruger. Both shoot well and hit hard.
 
My name is Buckskinner, and I'm a gun addict.

I learned from my gramps and my dad: we accumulate, never sell our guns.

Well, I've traded off a few for more guns, but, I'd like to think that my Great Great Great Gramps, John Clark from SOUTH CAROLINA in 1763, would be happy that I had 8 '06's. Well, he'd probably tell me to sell 'em and buy more bottom land and have more sons, but heck, I"m a 20th century boy and I'm doing it for posterity!
 
I've talked to a Gunsmith in Vancouver about it, but have not actually done it yet.

There is someone in Eastern Washington that does the actual re-boring, but I don't remember the name.

If you don't want to just buy a .338win mag or .338 Federal, then I say go for it.
