I understand theres a .015 diff. in Dia. but I don't think a Whitetail would notice..
then again 30-06 with a 180gr. bullet(higher SD than the above) @ 2900fps Hornaday LM

Actually, its a proven fact the Hornady Ammo is a lot slower than advertised. The .338 Federal would make a great cartridge for the NEF Handi Rifle's and other single shot rifles, and bolt actions would be great too.
