I was loking on www.midwayusa.com at 338-06 ammo,dies, brass, bullets ect. I know that 338-06 AI or Ackley improved is an improvement on the 338-06, but I noticed there is 338-06 A square. There is loaded ammo, brass and dies. My question is has A square simply put there name on this cartridge or it is another variant on the 338-06? | ||

The A-Square is the standard version, the same as the 338-06. | |||

I believe A Aquare was the first to make it a factory round. So they got to name it. It is the same as the 338-06. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||

The 338A2 ammo that i had the misfortune to deal with SUCKED!! They must have got their headspace data from Mars. Just use 35 whelen brass, neck down & trim to length. You will be way ahead of the game. | |||

DH, if you are looking for properly headstamped .338-06 ammo, Weatherby makes it but it's only available w/ 210grNP. The ammo is good quality but not cheap. I agree, just get .35Whelen brass or 06 brass & roll your own. LIFE IS NOT A SPECTATOR'S SPORT! | |||

Midway list both A-square and Weatherby 338-06 empty brass. It is not cheap Like others mentioned unless you want the right headstamp get Whelen brass and just resize it. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||

I have a bunch of norma brass in 338-06 that I got somewhere. I assume its the same as the weatherby stuff but cheaper. The loaded weatherby ammo is terribly inaccurate in my gun. We are talking like 5" groups here. | |||

Naja, Huntington's sells Norma bulk .338-06 brass. Some day I'll have to buy some, but 06 brass works fine. LIFE IS NOT A SPECTATOR'S SPORT! | |||

Yup, I figured it out last night. That is where I got it. | |||

Couldn't military 30-06 brass be used? It has no headstamp. I don't like the idea of using brass with the wrong headstamp. I'm related to some guy named Murphy. | |||

Yup, just run it through the 338-06 sizing die and your ready to go. the military brass is a lot thicker though and has a noticably smaller capacity. (I blew out primers with it when winchester brass showed no signs of excess pressure) | |||

Graf's has 30/06 brass for $15 per hundred. Norma and Weatherby 338/06 costs $20 to 23 per twenty!!!!!!!! If I wanted the head stamp to match - Think I'd figure out how to make a "0" from the "38" on the rim. ________ Ray | |||

I have used lakecity military brass for my .338-06 for several years. Velocity does suffer though. I really want to avoid confusing it with my standard 06 brass. I don't want to use .35 whelen brass for the same reason. With several rifles chambered for 06 derivitves in the locker, correct head stamps have become very important. ______________________ Are you gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie? | |||
