Hi I have a Remington 700 caliber 338 Winchester Magnum and my question is: can you shoot the 338-06 in a 338 Winchester Magnum rifle?.

Greetings and happy holidays

Oscar.

Hello, language problems and the translator Wink. I want to know if I can shoot 338-06 ammunition in my Remington 700 from 338 Winchester Magnum.

Thank you,

Oscar.

P.D:This question is simple curiosity because in Spain the caliber 338-06 is not marketed. Greetings

Same bullet diameters, but the cartridge cases are of different sizes!

Hello, now I see my mistake, I should have thought that the 338-06 is a case of 30.06, which he has expanded the mouth of the case to support a .338 caliber bullet.

Greetings,

Oscar.

The 338-06 cartridge is the 30-06 case necked up to take a .338 projectile.

The 338 Winchester Magnum is an entirely differant cartridge , having a magnum - ie bigger - case head and needing a differant boltface to operate. The two are not interchangeable in any way.
