If the 338 Fed. was there when I got my first 99F in 1966 I could have got everything just as well with it rather than the 358 that was there.

In fact for a longer range rifle there are some excellent .338" bullets.

Nosler shows a 180 gr with a BC of 0.372!


.372 BC is long range material?

Heck, the 168 grain Nosler and Hornady match bullets I plink with go .45 to .46, and they're practically towing drag chutes compared to real long range bullets.
