The 338 Fed is a good all around big game cartridge. If there’s a drawback it’s .33 cal bullets on this slower platform. If handloading or purchasing ammo some attention should be given to bullet design and jacket thickness. Most .33 bullets are designed with thicker jackets for magnum velocity integrity. Most .33 on the market are magnums thereby seeing 200 gr and 210 grain velocities at or above 3,050 fps or roughly 450 fps-600 fps faster than a 338 Fed with 200-210 grain loads. The TTSX would work well on large game, don’t over look the SST on deer and similar size game it opens, expands and destroys soft tissue and lungs yielding a great deal of trauma and shock. It’s the only bullet I use on whitetails in 308 Win with 165 gr. Matching cartridge to bullet to game is job one in the field. Good luck on your next hunt.
