338-06 ammunition

[parsons_12b]

I was given a box of 338-06. Before I go try and find a home for it I'm wondering if there is a difference between 338-06 and 338-06 A Square. Does anyone know ?

Same thing, A-square adopted the wildcat leading to SAAMI standardization. Awesome round.

I could use some. What do you want dor it? And what do you have? Those looked like nosler bullets.

Good cartridge. Since you have a box of ammo, you should build a rifle for it.

I don't need another rifle caliber

It's a great elk/moose/bear cartridge. Especially in timbered areas where you can use a lighter, shorter rifle and still pack a real thump. Gets you +2 in the magazine over a 338 win mag.
