I have one, I can't say its almost as powerful as a 338 as it shoots up to 175gr bullets, and a 338 handles 225gr well. But I like mine. Little bit of a barrel burner. I am getting close to 3200fps with 160gr accubond with RL25.

The 7mmRUM, however kicks it to the curb. I say it didn't take cause it was hard on barrels, you already had the 7mmrem mag out there which was filling the niche it needed, and rem mag is much better caliber, you can really get some good performance with a 7mmRemMag.
