If you reload you can have a .338 Fed or 338-06 by downloading a .338 Win Mag. I have been doing that for years. A few years ago when we were all in hoarding mode I bought 2 lifetime supplies of 180 BT's from Shooters Pro Shop. These thing shoot light out with a reduced load of H4895 around 2800 fps. This load is great for deer and hogs. I also tried the 60% rule of H4895 and I get around 2000 fps with the same 180's for a great plinking/position shooting ammo that is easy on the shoulder.

For elk and mulies I can load it back up to 338 Win Mag velocities. As a Loony, I could never be a 1 rifle man but if a cruel fate destine me too I could be a 1 rifle man with my .338


PASS IT ON!
