Here's a question. Does anyone have experience with the .338 bullets at these lower velocities. Most/all have been made/designed with the magnums in mind. It's a great round on paper...but, just like all these 'new' rounds, I don't think its a useful advantage. If I were hunting something that I didn't feel a 308 or 30-06 could handle you best believe I'd but recoil aside and be packing a magnum or hot 45-70.
Nothin' wrong with adding another color to the palette...but it can all be done with just 3.
Soil, you win the grand prize, for the correct answer.

The .338 Fed. offers nothing new at all.
