I'm another that wonders why the .338 Fed isn't more popular.

Seems to me it would be a great choice game in areas where ranges are under 350-400 or so.

At 300 yards, with a MPBR zero for a 6" diameter target, a 2950fps 160g TTSX is down only 4.5" with 2206fps and 1728fpe.

At 400 the same bullet is down 18.3" and retains 1985fps and 1399fpe.

The only reason I don't have one is I have so many other choices. If starting from scratch it would be on my list of top 10.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
