I'm loading 178 gr ELD-X's in my 308 at 2650 fps. ... At 300 yards I'm only 32 fps slower, but with 1869 ft lbs.energy.
... I'm not concerned about flat trajectory with a BDC scope. .... And I'm doing it with less recoil than 338 Fed.
I can't think of a single reason to choose one over a 308...let alone a 30-06.
You are not concerned about trajectory, like others are not concerned about recoil.
I can easily think of reasons for .338fed for BG
225AB @ 2500mv = 2100 energy 300yd
210tsx approaching 2600mv can out-penetrate 200/220NP 30/06!
-some people will never shoot game at 300yd or 400yd in their life,
those people are in no way ballistically disadvantaged by .338F
