Yes that's a lot of ooomph but compare 338Fed to 35 Whelen and long throated 350Rem mag is a bit unfair: must compare them to a good 338-06.
I don't know the ratio of big game really taken at 500 yards to ones taken at less than 300.
For that duty the 338Fed is good enough, no better than a 30-06 but it works well for me and i'm sure i can go farther in case of need.
Hope to have pictures to show after my swedish trip.
Have good day
