Echo, I have owned four .338s Sako carbine to full custom M70(s) I now do not own any and do not miss them. None would do 2700fps with 250s. None were better than just OK accurate. I think a 30'06 with 220s @ 2600 is just as good and usually twice as accurate. Now, a 340 WBY pushing 250s @2950fps well under MOA is the only 33 left living with my other guns. Wish I had a dollar for every newby Alaskan with a 338 Ruger and a Tasco 4X12 onboard...
'Kinda like that 33 Whelen picture ya got up there. Best wishes.
