Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Real world experiences with the 338 Federal

Won't let me edit post above. The 160 TTSX provided pass through on Kudu, Impala and Blesbok but not the Waterbuck and Gemsbok. WB was a broadside shot and bullet was under off-side hide. Hit ribs on both sides and opened very wide (.73") making a complete mess of meat and vitals. Gemsbok was quartering towards and it hit point of left shoulder. Never found bullet. Probably in the grass in the stomach.

160 TTSX, BR2, Federal Brass, 52gn AA2230, 2.82", ~3020 fps.
