338/06 or 25/06?

Well, exactly.

Although I'd say the 8x57J (1888) started it all (rimless case) as it preceded the 7x57 (1892). Many magazine gun writers say the 7x57 because the US Army examined it after our encounter with the 7x57 during the Spanish-American War in 1898. That, of course led to the USA's .30-03 cartridge (soon followed by the .30-06 of course).

Yes you are right, I just didn’t make myself clear about the 7x57. I have a 30-06, a 8x57 and a 303( a couple actually) and they all do what they were designed for.

Since I found me a Ruger African in 35 Whelen I have no use turning my Savage 111 06 into one. I've always liked the 2506 but I also had very insane for a 257 Wby so idk if the 25 would be wasted. But I also have a 338WM a 340Wby and now a 35 awhelen so maybe the 338/08 would be pointless too. What do guys think? Or is there another interesting 06 conversation caliber? Thanks

6.5- 06AI, a flat shooting smoker and with a fast twist, you can shoot the new heavy bullets. The 25-06AI is a smoker also, with a fast twist. Or, the 400 Whelen
